Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩛ has the Unicode code point U+1A5B. 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+1A5B to binary:
00011010 01011011. 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 10101001 10011011

Description
U+1A5B is a Unicode character that represents the TAI THAM CONSONANT SIGN HIGH RATHA OR LOW PA in digital text. This particular character plays an essential role in the Thai language, specifically within the Tham script, which was used during the Dvaravati and Sukhothai periods. The Tham script is a precursor to the modern Thai script, and although not widely used today, it holds significant cultural and historical value. U+1A5B, or ᜫ in Unicode, is an important character for linguists, historians, and typographers who study the development of the Thai language and its various scripts over time. Its usage is primarily in academic and research contexts to accurately transcribe and analyze ancient Thai texts, providing a window into the history and evolution of this rich language.
