Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᪗ has the Unicode code point U+1A97. 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+1A97 to binary:
00011010 10010111
. 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 10010111

Description
U+1A97, known as TAI THAM THAM DIGIT SEVEN, is a character utilized in the Thai Tham script. This specific digit is part of an extended set of characters that expand upon the standard Arabic numerals to include distinctive digits in Thai script. The Tham script was developed to address the need for a more visually coherent representation of numbers within Thai text, as the traditional use of Arabic numerals can appear disjointed and out of place. In digital texts, TAI THAM THAM DIGIT SEVEN serves an essential role in ensuring legibility and cohesion when representing numerical values in the Thai Tham script. As a result, it has become increasingly important in various applications and contexts such as finance, education, and technology within Thailand and among Thai-speaking communities worldwide.
