Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪅ has the Unicode code point U+1A85. 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+1A85 to binary:
00011010 10000101
. 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 10101010 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+1A85 represents the 'TAI THAM HORA DIGIT FIVE' in digital text. This specific character is part of the Thai Horasa script, which was added to the Unicode Standard in Version 6.0 (2010) to support the historical Thai Horasa script. The Thai Horasa script is a system of writing the Thai language that predates the current standard Thai script. U+1A85 plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of the Thai Horasa language, which has significant cultural, linguistic, and historical importance. This character's inclusion in Unicode ensures that digital texts can be written and read accurately, preserving the rich heritage of the Thai Horasa script for future generations.
