Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໟ has the Unicode code point U+0EDF. 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+0EDF to binary:
00001110 11011111. 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 10111011 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+0EDF, known as "LAO LETTER KHMU NYO," is a crucial component of the Lao script. In digital text, it typically serves to represent the specific phonetic sound and meaning associated with this character in the Lao language. As part of the Lao alphabet, U+0EDF plays a vital role in written communication within Laos and among Lao-speaking communities worldwide. The Lao script is an abugida, a writing system where each symbol represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel (usually 'a'). In the case of LAO LETTER KHMU NYO, it specifically denotes the consonant /k/ followed by the inherent vowel /ɔ:/. Lao is the official language of Laos and is spoken by over 3 million people. The Lao script has a rich history dating back to the 15th century when the present form was established, drawing on elements from the ancient Khmer script. U+0EDF's inclusion in Unicode ensures its accurate representation across digital platforms, preserving the integrity of the Lao language and promoting effective communication among speakers. In summary, U+0EDF is a critical element of the LAO LETTER KHMU NYO character, which serves to represent specific phonetic sounds and meaning in the Lao language. Its usage within the Lao script plays a crucial role in written communication for Laos and its speaking communities globally.
