Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+135B. 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+135B to binary:
00010011 01011011. 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:
11100001 10001101 10011011

Description
U+135B is a character from the Tamil script, a Dravidian language predominantly spoken in southern India. In digital text, this character typically represents "", which is pronounced as "kra" or "cra". This specific symbol holds significant cultural and linguistic value within the Tamil community, as it is an integral part of their writing system. The Tamil script has a rich history dating back to at least the 2nd century BC, with its earliest forms found in inscriptions on stones and copper plates. Over time, the script has evolved, incorporating elements from other scripts such as Brahmi and Grantha, which has led to the diverse range of symbols seen today. U+135B's technical context is primarily within software applications that support Tamil typography and text processing, enabling effective communication and preservation of the language for future generations.
