Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ຂ has the Unicode code point U+0E82. 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+0E82 to binary:
00001110 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+0E82 represents the Lao letter "Kho Sung" (ສ), which is a fundamental component of the Lao script, an abugida writing system used primarily in the Lao language spoken in Laos and parts of Thailand. In digital text, U+0E82 serves as a key element for rendering, processing, and encoding texts written in Lao, enabling accurate representation and preservation of the rich literary heritage of the Lao people. The Lao script is deeply rooted in the cultural and linguistic context of Laos, with its development tracing back to the 15th century, reflecting the nation's unique history and identity. As part of this rich tradition, the Kho Sung character plays a vital role in forming words, syllables, and phrases in the Lao language, demonstrating the intricate interplay between linguistic and cultural elements in written expression. By ensuring accurate encoding and representation through characters like U+0E82, digital technology supports the preservation and promotion of the Lao script and its associated culture.
