Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ๑ has the Unicode code point U+0E51. 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+0E51 to binary:
00001110 01010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+0E51, known as THAI DIGIT ONE, is an essential component of the Thai numeral system. As a part of the Thai script, it plays a crucial role in digital text for representing the number one (1) in the Thai language. In this numeral system, each digit has its unique form, making it visually distinct from Arabic or other numeral systems. The use of THAI DIGIT ONE in digital text is primarily for numerical representation and counting purposes within the Thai-speaking regions of Thailand and other countries where the Thai script is utilized. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical context, THAI DIGIT ONE is an essential element that contributes to the readability and comprehension of the Thai language in digital communication platforms, documents, and software applications.
