Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E5C. 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+0E5C to binary:
00001110 01011100
. 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:
11100000 10111001 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+0E5C is a vital component of the Thai script, representing a specific vowel sound unique to the Thai language. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in accurately conveying the intended meaning of words and phrases written in this Southeast Asian language. Thai script, which is based on the Brahmi script family, relies heavily on the use of diacritical marks like U+0E5C to indicate variations in tone and pronunciation. The Thai alphabet, which has been adapted from the old Khmer script, comprises 44 consonants and 15 vowel signs, including U+0E5C. Despite its specialized use in Thai language contexts, this character demonstrates the power of Unicode to support a wide range of writing systems across the world, fostering communication and understanding between diverse cultures.
