Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩯ has the Unicode code point U+1A6F. 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+1A6F to binary:
00011010 01101111
. 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 10101111

Description
U+1A6F is a Unicode character representing the TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN AE. In digital text, it primarily serves as a diacritical mark for modifying the sound of a letter in the Thai script. The character is used to denote the "ae" vowel sound when placed over specific consonants, contributing to the rich and diverse phonetic structure of the Thai language. As part of the Extended Thai (UTHR) Unicode block, U+1A6F contributes to maintaining and preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of Thailand's written communication system.
