Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᧈ has the Unicode code point U+19C8. 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+19C8 to binary:
00011001 11001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+19C8, known as the NEW TAI LUE TONE MARK-1, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing one of several tone marks used in the Thai language. In Thai, which is an ISO 639-1 coded language, five tone marks are employed to denote five distinct tones that are critical for accurate pronunciation and meaning. U+19C8 specifically serves as the first tone mark among these, and it signifies the initial syllable tone in a word or phrase. This character is essential for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in digital texts, particularly those written in Thai, ensuring that the intended pronunciation and meaning are correctly conveyed to readers. In terms of technical context, U+19C8 is part of the Supplemental Punctuation block within the Unicode Standard, which comprises a wide range of punctuation marks and symbols used in various languages around the world.
