Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೪ has the Unicode code point U+0CEA. 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+0CEA to binary:
00001100 11101010. 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 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+0CEA, known as "KANNADA DIGIT FOUR", is a digit representing the numeral four in Kannada script. This character plays an integral role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of numerical data and information within the context of Kannada language. Kannada is one of the Dravidian languages primarily spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka, as well as parts of Kerala, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, and Maharashtra. Its unique script, with over 50 letters and 48 digits, provides a distinctive visual identity to the written form of the language. The Unicode standard, which includes U+0CEA, ensures that digital text in Kannada can be reliably encoded, stored, transmitted, and displayed across various platforms and devices worldwide. This facilitates communication, preservation, and promotion of the linguistic and cultural heritage embedded within Kannada script.
