Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ฤ has the Unicode code point U+0E24. 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+0E24 to binary:
00001110 00100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+0E24, THAI CHARACTER RU, plays a significant role in the Thai language, which is the national language of Thailand and widely spoken by its people. In digital text, this character is used to represent the sound "ru" or "lu," and it appears frequently in Thai words that begin with these sounds. THAI CHARACTER RU is part of the Thai script, which is an abugida system consisting of 44 consonants, 15 vowels, and various tone marks. This character, like others in the Thai script, is influenced by a combination of ancient Indian and indigenous Southeast Asian scripts, reflecting Thailand's rich cultural history. The accurate usage of THAI CHARACTER RU and other characters in digital text is crucial for maintaining the integrity of the Thai language in the digital realm, contributing to effective communication and preservation of linguistic identity.
