Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E5F. 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+0E5F to binary:
00001110 01011111
. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+0E5F (CHARACTER 0E5F) holds a significant position within the Thai script. In digital text, it is typically used to represent the Thai consonant "เค", which is pronounced as /kʰəː/. This specific symbol plays a crucial role in maintaining the integrity of written Thai language by preserving its unique characteristics and nuances. The Unicode Standard was designed to accommodate diverse scripts such as Thai, thereby enabling global communication and representation across various cultures, languages, and platforms. As for technical context, this character is classified under the block "Thai" in the Unicode Standard and falls within the range of 0E00 to 0E7F. It is crucial to accurately depict and differentiate characters like U+0E5F to ensure proper interpretation and maintain the richness of cultural expressions, such as in the Thai language.
