Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ມ has the Unicode code point U+0EA1. 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+0EA1 to binary:
00001110 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+0EA1 represents the Lao letter "MO" (ມ້), which is used in the Lao script for the Lao language, also known as the Lao alphabet or ວັດາ. The Lao script is an abugida, a writing system where each character represents a syllable rather than a single sound, and it's predominantly used in written communication within Laos and among Lao diaspora communities worldwide. U+0EA1 has a crucial role in digital text representation, as it enables accurate encoding of the Lao language on computers, websites, mobile applications, and other digital platforms, preserving its cultural and linguistic identity for both native speakers and learners. The use of this Unicode character supports effective communication, literacy development, and cultural preservation among Lao-speaking communities.
