Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩆ has the Unicode code point U+1A46. 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+1A46 to binary:
00011010 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+1A46, known as TAI THAM LETTER HIGH SHA, is a unique glyph used predominantly in digital text representation. In the Thai script, it serves an essential role as part of the extended set for the Thai language, which expands upon the basic 26-letter alphabet to incorporate additional sounds and phonemes. U+1A46 specifically represents the high tonal sound 'Haa' or 'Sha,' playing a crucial part in accurate text communication within the Thai linguistic context. Its usage is particularly significant in digital environments, where it enables the correct display and interpretation of Thai text across various platforms and devices. Despite its relatively recent introduction to Unicode, U+1A46 has quickly become indispensable for maintaining cultural authenticity in digitally transmitted Thai language content.
