Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ๊ has the Unicode code point U+0E4A. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0E4A to binary:
00001110 01001010
. 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 10001010

Description
U+0E4A is a Thai character known as Mai Tri (THAI CHARACTER MAI TRI). In the realm of digital text, it serves as an essential component in written communication within the Thai language. As part of the Thai script, which is based on the Brahmi script, this particular character has a crucial role to play in conveying accurate meaning and maintaining linguistic integrity. Its usage is primarily confined to the Thai language and its cultural context, which is spoken by millions of people in Thailand and other regions where the language is spoken or studied. Despite being less familiar to non-Thai speakers, Mai Tri contributes significantly to the richness and expressiveness of the Thai language. In terms of technical aspects, U+0E4A falls under the category of Unicode characters, a standard encoding system designed to represent text in any written language across various platforms and applications, thereby promoting global digital communication and understanding.
