Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩈ has the Unicode code point U+1A48. 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+1A48 to binary:
00011010 01001000. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1A48, known as "TAI THAM LETTER HIGH SA", is an integral part of the Thai script, which is used primarily in written communication within Thailand and among Thai-speaking communities globally. This specific letter represents a consonant with a voiced alveolar affricate sound [d͡z]. In digital text, U+1A48 plays a crucial role in accurately representing the Thai language, allowing for proper translations, communication, and preservation of cultural heritage. The Thai script is an abugida system, meaning each letter has an inherent vowel that can be modified or replaced by diacritics to express different sounds and meanings. As a result, U+1A48's usage is often influenced by its context within a word or sentence, and it may combine with other characters to create unique syllables. While this character may not be widely recognized outside of Thai-speaking communities, it is vital for accurate representation of the language in digital spaces, ensuring effective communication, cultural exchange, and linguistic preservation.
