Description

The Unicode character U+0E08, THAI CHARACTER CHO CHAN, is a crucial component of the Thai language, which is predominantly used in digital text for its unique role in representing the Thai script accurately. This specific character contributes significantly to the linguistic richness and cultural heritage of the Thai language. The Thai alphabet system employs a blend of consonants and vowel signs that are combined to form syllables, with U+0E08 being an essential part of this system as a vowel sign. This character is crucial in accurately transcribing spoken Thai into written form, ensuring the preservation of linguistic integrity and facilitating effective communication in digital platforms. In terms of technical context, U+0E08 is encoded within the Thai block of the Unicode Standard, which comprises characters specifically designed to support the Thai script. This encoding system plays a vital role in standardizing text representation across different devices, platforms, and applications, thereby promoting seamless communication and data exchange globally.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3592 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+0E08. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+0E08 to binary: 00001110 00001000. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10001000
