Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩰ has the Unicode code point U+1A70. 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+1A70 to binary:
00011010 01110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The character U+1A70, TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN OO, is a crucial component of the Thai language's digital text representation. This Unicode character plays an essential role in accurately conveying meaning in written Thai communication, contributing to the proper pronunciation and interpretation of words. The Thai script is an abugida system, where each consonant has an inherent vowel sound, which can be modified by diacritical marks such as U+1A70. In this context, TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN OO specifically modifies the consonants to represent the 'oo' sound, enriching the linguistic depth and diversity of the Thai language. Its presence in digital text facilitates effective communication for the Thai-speaking community, ensuring their cultural expressions are accurately represented in the digital realm.
