Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E71. 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+0E71 to binary:
00001110 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
U+0E71 is a Unicode character representing the Thai consonant "ก" (kaa). It holds significant importance in the Thai language, where it serves as an essential building block for constructing words. In digital text, this character is used to represent the "ก" sound and has various diacritical marks to modify its tone or pronunciation. The Thai script, which employs U+0E71, belongs to the Tai-Kadaisi group of scripts and is written from left to right. In addition to being utilized in digital text, U+0E71 can be found on traditional Thai alphabet charts and educational materials. Its presence ensures that the rich cultural heritage of the Thai language is accurately represented and preserved for future generations.
