Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ฦ has the Unicode code point U+0E26. 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+0E26 to binary:
00001110 00100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+0E26 represents the Thai character "LU" (ฬ), which plays a vital role in digital texts within the Thai language. As part of the Thai script, it is used to transcribe the sounds of the Thai language, enabling accurate representation and communication in the digital realm. The Thai script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel sounds. In this case, "LU" (ฬ) comprises the consonant ล and the inherent vowel u. This character contributes significantly to the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Thailand by enabling the accurate representation of the Thai language in digital text, facilitating communication and preserving traditional knowledge for future generations.
