Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ต has the Unicode code point U+0E15. 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+0E15 to binary:
00001110 00010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+0E15, designated as the "THAI CHARACTER TO TAO," is an essential element in Thai typography. It plays a pivotal role in digital text by representing a crucial syllable or consonant in the Thai language. As a part of the Thai script, which uses a combination of consonants and vowel symbols to form words, U+0E15 helps create a rich tapestry of linguistic expression unique to Thai culture. This character is significant not only for its linguistic value but also because it reflects the evolution of the Thai script, which has adapted and changed over time in response to cultural, political, and technological influences. By understanding U+0E15's role in digital text, we gain insight into the intricate system of the Thai writing system and its connection to the broader context of Thai culture and linguistics.
