Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೧ has the Unicode code point U+0CE7. 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+0CE7 to binary:
00001100 11100111
. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+0CE7 represents the Kannada digit one (ಕోం). This numeral is a crucial component of the Kannada script, which is used primarily in the Karnataka region of India for written communication. The Kannada numerals are derived from Brahmi numerals and were developed concurrently with the Devanagari numerals. In digital text, U+0CE7 serves as a digit that holds a value of one within text containing Kannada numbers or other languages using a similar numeral system. While this character may not be widely used in global communications, it plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Kannada-speaking communities.
