Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character อ has the Unicode code point U+0E2D. 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+0E2D to binary:
00001110 00101101
. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+0E2D, known as the THAI CHARACTER O ANG, is an essential component of the Thai script. In digital text, it serves a crucial role in accurately representing and conveying the intended meaning of words and phrases in the Thai language. As part of the Thai script, which originated around the 13th century and is based on the ancient Khmer script, U+0E2D plays an indispensable part in maintaining the linguistic integrity and cultural heritage of Thailand. The THAI CHARACTER O ANG specifically represents the sound "ɔ" or "o" with a palatalization indicator, which helps readers to accurately pronounce and understand words in the Thai language. The accurate encoding of this character in digital text is vital for preserving the linguistic nuances and cultural context inherent in written Thai.
