Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩮ has the Unicode code point U+1A6E. 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+1A6E to binary:
00011010 01101110
. 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 10101110

Description
U+1A6E is a character in the Unicode Standard, representing the TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN E (Ẹ). This specific character is primarily used in the Thai language, where it serves as a vowel sign for the e sound. In digital text, it helps to distinguish and convey the correct pronunciation and phonetics of words within the Thai script. The Thai alphabet, which is based on the ancient Khmer script, utilizes a combination of consonants and vowel signs, including U+1A6E, to form words with distinct meanings and sounds. While this character may not be widely recognized outside of its linguistic context, it plays a crucial role in preserving the accuracy of written Thai language and ensuring proper communication among native speakers.
