Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ไ has the Unicode code point U+0E44. 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+0E44 to binary:
00001110 01000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+0E44 represents the Thai character "Sara AI Maimalai" (ส้อ), which is a vowel in the Thai script. In digital text, it serves as one of 44 consonants and 15 vowels that make up the core Thai alphabet, enabling accurate encoding and display of Thai language content across various platforms and devices. As part of the Thai script, U+0E44 plays a crucial role in conveying meaning, tone, and nuance within the Thai language, which is spoken by over 65 million people worldwide. The Thai script is unique in that it combines consonants with vowel diacritics above or below them, with U+0E44 representing a central vowel sound that can modify the pronunciation of adjacent consonants. This characteristic makes the Thai script easily distinguishable and contributes to its rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
