Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᩲ has the Unicode code point U+1A72. 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+1A72 to binary:
00011010 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+1A72 (TAI THAM VOWEL SIGN THAM AI) is a character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in digital text representation, particularly for the Thai language. Its primary role is to indicate the presence of the "Tham" vowel sound in words, which is essential for accurate pronunciation and comprehension in the Thai language. This character is part of the Thai script, a braille-based writing system that uses 44 consonants and 15 vowel signs to represent the full range of phonemes in the Thai language. The use of U+1A72 specifically denotes the presence of the "Tham" vowel sign, which is a crucial aspect of the Thai script due to its unique tonal system and the way it conveys meaning through pitch and stress. In digital text and typography, U+1A72 ensures that documents, websites, and applications using the Thai language are accurately represented and easily understood by speakers of the language.
