Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩸ has the Unicode code point U+1A78. 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+1A78 to binary:
00011010 01111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+1A78 is the TAI THAM SIGN KHUEN TONE-4, which holds a significant role in digital text, particularly in Thai typography. It is an integral part of the Thai script, specifically used for tonal marking in written Thai language. The Thai script is based on the principle of consonant-vowel-tone where tones play a crucial role in determining the meaning of words. U+1A78 serves as one of four tone marks (U+1A74, U+1A75, U+1A76, U+1A78) that modify the pronunciation and meaning of Thai words by indicating a specific tone. The character's usage is primarily within digital text environments, including applications, websites, and software that support the Thai language or Unicode standard. In conclusion, U+1A78, TAI THAM SIGN KHUEN TONE-4, is an essential component of the Thai script, contributing to the accurate representation and communication of meaning in the Thai language through tone indicators.
