Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+10CC. 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+10CC to binary:
00010000 11001100
. 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 10000011 10001100

Description
U+10CC is a unique character within the Unicode standard, representing an important symbol for the Kannada language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role as it represents the 'ya' sound with a nasalized feature (ᶄ), adding depth and diversity to the phonetic expressions of the language. The character also holds significance in linguistic studies due to its distinctive shape and pronunciation, providing valuable insights into the evolution and structure of Kannada script. Furthermore, U+10CC plays a vital role in digital communication, text editing, and translation services for the Kannada-speaking population, thereby preserving their cultural identity in the rapidly globalizing world.
