Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ຠ has the Unicode code point U+0EA0. 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+0EA0 to binary:
00001110 10100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+0EA0 represents the Lao letter "Palī Bha" (ບ), which is a crucial component of the Lao script, an abugida writing system predominantly used in Laos for the Lao language. In digital text, this character serves its typical role as a phonetic symbol representing the sound /p/. As part of the Lao script, U+0EA0 contributes to the cultural and linguistic heritage of the Lao people, which is essential for maintaining their identity and preserving their literary tradition. The Lao script itself has a rich history dating back to the 13th century, with influences from both the Indian Brahmi script and the Khmer script. U+0EA0's accurate representation in digital text facilitates effective communication within the Lao-speaking community, fostering literacy and supporting cultural exchange.
