Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᨤ has the Unicode code point U+1A24. 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+1A24 to binary:
00011010 00100100
. 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 10100100

Description
U+1A24 (TAI THAM LETTER LOW KXA) is a typographic character from the Unicode Standard, a widely adopted encoding system that supports the representation of text in most of the world's writing systems. The TAI THAM script, which includes this character, is primarily used to write the Thai language. The U+1A24 code point specifically represents the "Low KXA" letter in the TAI THAM script. In digital texts, its typical usage is for representing the specific phonetic or semantic properties of the "Low KXA" sound in the Thai language. This character serves an important role in maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity when displaying, processing, or transmitting Thai text using digital systems. The Unicode Standard's extensive coverage of scripts like TAI THAM ensures that diverse languages and their unique writing systems are adequately represented in the digital realm.
