Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ຎ has the Unicode code point U+0E8E. 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+0E8E to binary:
00001110 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+0E8E represents the Lao letter Pali Nya (ອາ) in the Lao script. This script is primarily used for writing the Lao language, which is spoken by approximately 3 million people in Laos and among Lao diaspora communities worldwide. The Lao script is an abugida system, meaning each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel "a". U+0E8E is a modifier letter that can be used to change the base consonant's pronunciation when followed by specific vowels or diacritics. The Pali Nya (ອາ) character plays a crucial role in the digital text, as it helps maintain the correct pronunciation and meaning of words in Lao language texts. The Lao script is essential for preserving Laos' rich cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity on the global stage.
