Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ຶ has the Unicode code point U+0EB6. 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+0EB6 to binary:
00001110 10110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+0EB6, also known as LAO VOWEL SIGN Y, is a Unicode character primarily used in the Lao script, which is the writing system for the Lao language, spoken predominantly in Laos and parts of Thailand. In digital text, this character serves as a diacritical mark to modify the base characters it accompanies, altering their pronunciation or meaning. Specifically, when combined with the base character U+0EC6 (LAO CONSONANT KW), it forms the Lao syllable "ky". The use of LAO VOWEL SIGN Y is essential for accurate transcription and translation of the Lao language in digital platforms, as it plays a vital role in conveying nuances of pronunciation and meaning.
