Description

The Unicode character U+0EAC (LAO LETTER PALI LLA) is a crucial element within the Thai script system, representing the distinct phonetic sound in the Lao alphabet. As an integral part of the Lao writing system, it plays a pivotal role in digital text communication and representation, particularly for the Lao language spoken in Laos and parts of Thailand. In addition to its linguistic function, U+0EAC is also significant from a cultural perspective, as it helps preserve the identity, heritage, and traditions of the Lao people through their unique script. The Lao alphabet, which includes this character, has historical roots dating back to the 15th century when it was adapted from the Thai script, with some modifications to fit the phonetic characteristics of the Lao language. In the digital realm, U+0EAC is encoded using a Unicode value, ensuring its accurate representation and preservation across various platforms and devices, thus contributing to the global accessibility and understanding of the Lao language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3756 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+0EAC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0EAC to binary: 00001110 10101100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10101100
