Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ຒ has the Unicode code point U+0E92. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0E92 to binary:
00001110 10010010
. 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 10010010

Description
U+0E92, also known as LAO LETTER PALI DDHA, is a unique character within the Unicode system, specifically designed for use in digital text from the Lao language. This script holds significant importance in Lao typography and is essential for accurate representation of text in digital environments. The character finds its primary usage in the Pali language, a sacred language widely used in religious texts, particularly in Buddhist literature. Its inclusion in Unicode allows for the preservation and promotion of cultural heritage by facilitating the accurate digital reproduction of traditional Lao and Pali script, thereby fostering accessibility and understanding of these languages on a global scale.
