Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character โ has the Unicode code point U+0E42. 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+0E42 to binary:
00001110 01000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+0E42 represents the Thai script letter "ฬ", known as "Thai Character Sara O" or "Ko Yao". In digital text, this character is typically used in the Thai language, which is the national and official language of Thailand. As part of the Thai script, it plays a vital role in conveying meaning and is utilized in various forms of communication, such as written documents, signage, and digital media. The Thai script, of which U+0E42 is a component, is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel sounds. In the case of "ฬ", it represents the sound /ʔ/, a voiceless glottal stop, and can be modified by diacritics to indicate different tones or vowels. The use of U+0E42 is essential in preserving cultural heritage and maintaining accurate communication within the Thai-speaking community, which has over 60 million speakers worldwide.
