Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E72. 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+0E72 to binary:
00001110 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:
11100000 10111001 10110010

Description
U+0E72 is a unique character within the Unicode system, specifically representing the Thai tone mark "Tone 5". This character plays a vital role in the accurate representation of Thai language in digital text. Unlike other scripts that use diacritics or combining marks for modifying the pronunciation of letters, the Thai script directly incorporates these tones into its characters through unique Thai alphabetic symbols. These tone marks are essential for accurately conveying the meaning and intention of spoken Thai language. U+0E72's primary function is to designate the fifth and highest pitch accent in the five-tone Thai system, which is crucial for distinguishing words with identical orthographic forms that have different meanings based on their tones. The use of this character contributes significantly to the preservation and promotion of Thailand's linguistic and cultural identity within digital communications and information systems.
