Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ฯ has the Unicode code point U+0E2F. 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+0E2F to binary:
00001110 00101111. 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 10101111

Description
U+0E2F is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the Thai Character Paiyannoi (๓). This character plays an essential role in digital text, particularly within the Thai language system. It is often used to denote numbers or quantities in certain numerical notations and is commonly seen in mathematical equations. The Thai script is known for its distinct style and intricate design, with U+0E2F serving as a vital component. Paiyannoi is part of the Sino-Thai script set, which incorporates elements from both Chinese characters and the traditional Thai alphabet. This fusion of styles contributes to the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of Thailand. Moreover, U+0E2F exemplifies the adaptability of the Unicode system, a universal encoding standard designed to support the full range of human language. Its presence in the Unicode database underscores the importance of fostering digital inclusivity across diverse languages and scripts worldwide.
