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

Description
The Unicode character U+1AAA (TAI THAM SIGN SATKAAN) is a typographical symbol used predominantly in digital text to represent the Thai script. Its primary role is to denote the tone of a specific syllable within a word, thereby assisting readers in correctly pronouncing and interpreting the meaning of the written content. The TAI THAM SIGN SATKAAN is part of the broader set of Thai consonant diacritics that work together to create a comprehensive system for expressing tone and stress in the Thai language, which is tonal and thus relies heavily on these distinctions. In digital text processing and typesetting, it's crucial for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity, as misinterpretation or omission of such diacritics can significantly alter the intended meaning or pronunciation of words.
