Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨫ has the Unicode code point U+1A2B. 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+1A2B to binary:
00011010 00101011
. 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 10101000 10101011

Description
U+1A2B, TAI THAM LETTER LOW CHA, is a typographical character found within the Unicode Standard. It serves as a crucial element in digital text representation for the Tai Tham script, which is primarily used in northeastern Thailand. The script's origins can be traced back to the 19th century when it was developed from the Tai Le script to facilitate the writing of the Thai language. TAI THAM LETTER LOW CHA specifically represents the 'cha' sound, and is utilized within digital text to maintain accuracy in linguistic context. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard promotes greater accessibility for users and applications working with the Thai language, ensuring the preservation of cultural identity and linguistic nuance.
