Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character เ has the Unicode code point U+0E40. 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+0E40 to binary:
00001110 01000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0E40, known as THAI CHARACTER SARA E, plays a significant role in the Thai language, which uses the Thai script for its written form. In digital text, it is typically employed to represent the consonant "s" with an aspirated tone. This particular character contributes to the phonetic structure of Thai words and facilitates accurate pronunciation. As part of the Thai script, THAI CHARACTER SARA E reflects the linguistic complexity and cultural richness of Thailand's indigenous language. The Thai script is a unique abugida system, where each character represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel. This feature allows for concise and efficient communication within the Thai-speaking community. Consequently, U+0E40 demonstrates its importance in digital text by supporting accurate representation of the Thai language in various electronic media, such as websites, documents, and software applications.
