Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪘ has the Unicode code point U+1A98. 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+1A98 to binary:
00011010 10011000
. 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 10011000

Description
U+1A98 is the Unicode character for "TAI THAM THAM DIGIT EIGHT", which is a unique numeral digit specifically used in the Thai script system. It plays an essential role in digital text, particularly when dealing with numerical representations in the Thai language. The Thai numeral system has roots in ancient times and still holds cultural significance today. Unlike Western digits, which are based on vertical strokes, Thai digits are horizontally oriented, making them easily distinguishable. U+1A98 is an essential character for accurate digital representation of numbers in the Thai language and supports the correct translation of various documents, texts, and digital content from and to the Thai script system.
