Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ๖ has the Unicode code point U+0E56. 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+0E56 to binary:
00001110 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0E56 represents the Thai digit 'six' (ๆ). In digital texts, this glyph is used primarily for numeric representation in the Thai script system. Unlike Latin or Arabic numerals, Thai digits are not solely reliant on shape but also use diacritics to differentiate between values. U+0E56 is part of a set of ten Thai digits ranging from zero (U+0E30) to nine (U+0E45). These digits play an essential role in the Thai language, enabling accurate numerical expression and facilitating mathematical calculations within various domains like commerce, finance, and everyday life. The usage of U+0E56 is predominantly limited to Thailand and neighboring countries where the Thai script is used, reflecting its cultural and linguistic significance.
