Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ໍ has the Unicode code point U+0ECD. 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+0ECD to binary:
00001110 11001101. 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 10111011 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+0ECD, known as LAO NIGGAHITA, plays a crucial role in the Thai script system. In digital text, it serves as one of the fundamental building blocks for creating various words and phrases. Specifically, this character is used to represent a short vowel sound at the end of a syllable. The LAO NIGGAHITA is typically found in the Thai language, which is widely spoken in Thailand, Laos, and several other Southeast Asian countries. As part of the Thai script, U+0ECD helps maintain the linguistic integrity and accuracy of written communication. Furthermore, its correct usage ensures that digital texts remain faithful to the original oral pronunciation and meaning of words in the Thai language. In terms of technical context, LAO NIGGAHITA is part of the Lao script block within the Unicode Standard, which was designed to encompass a wide range of written languages from around the world.
