Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩦ has the Unicode code point U+1A66. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+1A66 to binary:
00011010 01100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+1A66, also known as TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN II, is a Unicode character that plays an essential role in digital text representation of the Thai language. It specifically serves as a vowel mark for the Thai script, which is a member of the larger Tai-Kadai linguistic family. In its typical usage, U+1A66 helps to differentiate between various vowels and consonants in Thai words, ensuring accurate pronunciation and interpretation by speakers of the language. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard facilitates cross-platform communication and digital text exchange, promoting linguistic inclusivity and facilitating global understanding. While U+1A66 may not be well-known outside of specific linguistic or technical contexts, its contribution to accurate digital text representation in Thai cannot be overstated.
