Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೨ has the Unicode code point U+0CE8. 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+0CE8 to binary:
00001100 11101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+0CE8 represents the Kannada digit two (ക്), which is a numeral used in the Kannada script. In digital text, this character serves as a fundamental element for writing numbers in the Kannada language. Kannada is a Dravidian language predominantly spoken by Kannadigas in the Indian state of Karnataka and by some populations in adjoining regions. The Kannada script, which has been in use since the 7th century, consists of 48 letters or characters for consonants and 15 vowels. U+0CE8 holds cultural significance as it is deeply rooted in the history, literature, and daily life of the Kannada-speaking community. Additionally, from a technical standpoint, the Kannada digit two (က్) is part of the ISO 15924 script code extension for the Kannada script, which is crucial for proper rendering and processing in modern computing systems and software applications.
