Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪑ has the Unicode code point U+1A91. 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+1A91 to binary:
00011010 10010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1A91, known as TAI THAM THAM DIGIT ONE, holds significant importance in digital text representation of the Thai language. This character is part of a series (U+1A90 to U+1A9F) that represents digits for the Thai script, which includes ten different numeral forms used in various contexts, including currency and numerical values. The Thai numerals are based on an ancient Indian numeral system and have been adapted for use in the Thai script, allowing for a more natural integration into the linguistic structure. In modern usage, TAI THAM THAM DIGIT ONE is employed in digital text to represent the number one in the specific Thai numeral form known as "Tai Tham Tham". This unique digit form contributes to the rich heritage of Thai typography and serves a practical purpose in daily communication and documentations.
