Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ึ has the Unicode code point U+0E36. 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+0E36 to binary:
00001110 00110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+0E36, known as THAI CHARACTER SARA UE, plays a significant role in the Thai language and digital text. In the Thai script, this particular character represents the consonant "ue" or "uee," which is part of the consonant-vowel (CV) syllabary used in the Thai writing system. This CV syllabary allows for a more phonetic and systematic representation of sounds in the Thai language compared to other complex scripts. U+0E36 is utilized in various digital platforms, including websites, documents, and applications that support the Thai language, enabling accurate and effective communication in this Southeast Asian nation. The character also demonstrates the richness and diversity of the Unicode Standard, which aims to accommodate a wide range of scripts, languages, and cultural expressions across the world.
