Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ด has the Unicode code point U+0E14. 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+0E14 to binary:
00001110 00010100. 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 10010100

Description
The Unicode character U+0E14 is the Thai Character "ฺ", known as "Thai Character DO DEK" in English. This specific character plays a significant role in digital text, especially within the Thai language system. In a linguistic context, it's one of the essential characters for constructing Thai words, often used to write certain vowel sounds or modify pronunciation of consonants. It is considered as a diacritic mark that provides additional phonetic information and helps in distinguishing similar-looking characters with different meanings or sounds. In a cultural context, the DO DEK is one part of the Thai script, which is a derivative of the ancient Khmer script, reflecting the historical and cultural ties between Thailand and Cambodia. From a technical standpoint, U+0E14 has a Unicode block of THAI (U+0E00 to U+0E7F), indicating that it's a part of the group of characters that represent the Thai writing system in digital formats. Its use is significant for accurate communication and information exchange within the Thai language on digital platforms, including websites, software applications, and digital documents.
