Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character บ has the Unicode code point U+0E1A. 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+0E1A to binary:
00001110 00011010
. 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 10111000 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+0E1A represents the Thai character "Bo Baimai" (Thai: โบไตม์), which is commonly used in digital text for its specific role in the Thai script. Bo Baimai is a consonant-vowel sequence, where "Bo" denotes a basic consonant and "Baimai" represents a vowel with a nasalizing mark. In the Thai language, this character is essential for accurate pronunciation and meaning in written text. Bo Baimai holds a significant place within the Thai cultural context as it reflects the unique features of the Thai script, which is derived from the ancient Khmer script. The script is abugida-based, meaning that vowels are implied by the position of the base consonant and additional diacritic marks. This distinct feature sets the Thai script apart from other scripts used in Southeast Asian languages. Technically, U+0E1A is encoded in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the "Thai" block (U+0E00 to U+0E7F). The character may be rendered and displayed accurately by modern text editors, word processors, and web browsers that support Unicode. This ensures consistent representation across various digital platforms, fostering communication and understanding among Thai speakers worldwide.
