Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ่ has the Unicode code point U+0E48. 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+0E48 to binary:
00001110 01001000. 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 10111001 10001000

Description
U+0E48, known as the Thai Character Mai Ek, plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Thai language. As part of the Thai script, this character contributes to the formation of words and sentences that communicate a wide array of thoughts and ideas. The Thai script is a syllabary, meaning each symbol represents a syllable rather than a specific letter or sound as in the Roman alphabet. This characteristic sets it apart from other writing systems and gives it unique linguistic properties. In addition to its linguistic importance, U+0E48 has cultural significance within Thailand, reflecting the rich history and traditions of the Thai people. As an expert in Unicode and typography, I emphasize the accuracy and necessity of proper encoding for digital text to preserve these valuable aspects of human language and culture.
