Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨥ has the Unicode code point U+1A25. 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+1A25 to binary:
00011010 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+1A25, or TAI THAM LETTER LOW KHA, is a typographical character from the Unicode Standard, specifically within the "Tai Tham" block. In digital text, it serves as a unique symbol for the lowercase form of the Kha letter in the Tai Tham script, which is used to write various Tai languages such as Sui, Njordin, and Yawan in Southeast Asia. The Tai Tham script was adapted from the ancient Brahmi script, demonstrating the influence of Indian culture on the region's linguistic development. Today, U+1A25 is vital for accurate digital representation and communication in these languages, preserving their cultural heritage in the digital age.
