Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩉ has the Unicode code point U+1A49. 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+1A49 to binary:
00011010 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1A49 represents the "TAI THAM LETTER HIGH HA" (ຮ) in digital text. This character is used within the TAI THAM script, which belongs to the Tai-Viet group of scripts and is predominantly used for writing the Thai language. TAI THAM script was developed in 1972 by Dr. Luang Wun Kiew and has been adopted as the official script for the Thai government. U+1A49 plays a significant role in digital communication, especially within the Thai community, facilitating the accurate representation of written language on computers and other digital devices. The character is also used to support linguistic research, translation, and localization efforts. Despite being relatively less-known compared to more widely-used scripts like Latin or Chinese characters, U+1A49 remains an essential part of the digital typography landscape due to its cultural and linguistic importance in Thai communication.
