Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ຫ has the Unicode code point U+0EAB. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0EAB to binary:
00001110 10101011. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100000 10111010 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+0EAB represents the "LAO LETTER HO SUNG" (ອ) in the Lao script, which is primarily used for digital text encoding in the Lao language. As a member of the Tai-Muan script family, this letter plays a vital role in the phonetic and orthographic system of Lao, an Austroasiatic language spoken predominantly in Laos. LAO LETTER HO SUNG is used to denote the consonant sound /h/, and when paired with vowel signs, forms syllables that are essential components of Lao words. In digital text processing and encoding systems, such as Unicode, U+0EAB ensures accurate representation and preservation of Lao language content, contributing to cultural, linguistic, and technical context in a globalized world.
