Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೬ has the Unicode code point U+0CEC. 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+0CEC to binary:
00001100 11101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+0CEC, also known as KANNADA DIGIT SIX, is a digit that represents the number six in the Kannada script. This script is predominantly used for writing the Kannada language, which is one of the major Dravidian languages spoken primarily in the Indian state of Karnataka and parts of neighboring states. In digital text, U+0CEC serves as a crucial element for transcribing numerical values accurately and unambiguously within the context of the Kannada script. The character is vital for both informal communication and formal documentation purposes. Its use contributes to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the Kannada-speaking communities, while also facilitating global communication and information exchange.
