Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ື has the Unicode code point U+0EB7. 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+0EB7 to binary:
00001110 10110111. 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 10110111

Description
The character U+0EB7, known as the LAO VOWEL SIGN YY, holds a significant position in digital text representations of the Lao script. As part of the Unicode Standard, it is used to represent specific phonetic and grammatical features within the Lao language. The Lao alphabet, which originated from the Tai-Kadai family of scripts, has been adapted over centuries through various influences such as Pali and Sanskrit scripts. This adaptation can be seen in the technical aspect of U+0EB7, where it contributes to the richness and diversity of phonetics that are essential to the Lao language. The character's role is not only limited to digital text but also extends to its cultural and linguistic context. In these areas, U+0EB7 helps maintain the integrity and authenticity of Lao literature, traditional texts, and modern writings by ensuring accurate representation of intended phonemes and meaning.
