Description

The Unicode character U+0E02, known as THAI CHARACTER KHO KHAI, plays a significant role in the Thai language, which is primarily used in digital text for its representation in written Thai. As a core element of the Thai script, it serves to represent specific phonetic and semantic values within the language's complex system. The THAI CHARACTER KHO KHAI holds cultural and linguistic importance in Thailand, contributing to the rich literary heritage of the nation. From a technical standpoint, U+0E02 is part of the Thai block within the Unicode Standard, which comprises a comprehensive range of characters necessary for encoding the Thai script accurately.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 3586 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+0E02. 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+0E02 to binary: 00001110 00000010. 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 10000010
