Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0CDC. 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+0CDC to binary:
00001100 11011100. 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 10110011 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+0CDC, or character 0CDC, holds a unique position within the realm of typography and digital text. This specific code point is part of the Latin Extended-B (Latinext-B) block, which was designed to encompass additional characters used in various languages and scripts not covered by the basic Latin alphabet or its extensions. U+0CDC represents a character commonly utilized in the Malayalam script, one of the major languages spoken in India's Kerala state. In this context, 0CDC is typically employed as a modifier to indicate long vowels in word constructions within the Malayalam language. Given its cultural and linguistic significance, understanding U+0CDC's role in digital text becomes crucial for accurate representation of the Malayalam language and effective communication with speakers of this regional dialect.
