Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪣ has the Unicode code point U+1AA3. 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+1AA3 to binary:
00011010 10100011. 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 10101010 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+1AA3 is known as the TAI THAM SIGN KEOW. In digital text, this character primarily serves a punctuation role in the Thai language. It indicates a pause or break similar to that of an apostrophe or an ellipsis in English. This symbol is part of a set of punctuation marks called Tai Tham (Thai Braille), which are used for writing and reading Thai language texts for the visually impaired. The TAI THAM SIGN KEOW specifically denotes a falling tone, which is one of five tones in the Thai language that help determine meaning and pronunciation. As an integral part of the Thai Braille system, U+1AA3 plays a crucial role in enabling literacy for the visually impaired in the Thai-speaking world.
