Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧞ has the Unicode code point U+19DE. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+19DE to binary:
00011001 11011110
. 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:
11100001 10100111 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+19DE represents the "NEW TAI LUE SIGN LAE," which is an essential symbol in the Tai languages of Southeast Asia. This glyph serves as a letter in the Thai script, specifically used to represent the consonant sound /l/ followed by the vowel /ɛ/, similar to how the English letter "L" can be combined with various vowels to form different words. In digital text, U+19DE plays a crucial role in accurately representing the Thai language and facilitating communication among native speakers or learners. The use of this character in text is prevalent in written Thai, where it contributes significantly to the language's distinctive orthography. As an integral part of the Unicode Standard, U+19DE ensures that digital texts remain true to their intended meaning and cultural context.
