Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ળ has the Unicode code point U+0AB3. 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+0AB3 to binary:
00001010 10110011. 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 10101010 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+0AB3 represents the Gujarati letter 'Lla' (ળ). In the digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for the written Gujarati language, which is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat and by the Gujarati diaspora around the world. As part of the Indic script family, Gujarati is an abugida system where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel sounds. The letter ળ (U+0AB3) specifically corresponds to the consonant 'Lla', which is pronounced as /l/ when standing alone or followed by certain vowels. Its accurate representation in digital text enables efficient communication and preserves the linguistic integrity of Gujarati, a language with a rich cultural heritage dating back centuries. The character's accurate usage in digital platforms is crucial for promoting literacy and fostering cultural exchange among the Gujarati-speaking community worldwide.
