Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೕ has the Unicode code point U+0CD5. 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+0CD5 to binary:
00001100 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+0CD5, known as the Kannada Length Mark, holds a significant place in digital text processing, particularly for languages such as Kannada. In its typical usage, this character serves to indicate the length of a syllable or segment in the Kannada script, which is an abugida writing system predominantly used in the Indian state of Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu. The Kannada script comprises 48 phonemic letters, each having an inherent vowel sound, and this length mark is crucial for proper pronunciation and understanding of text in this language. The Kannada Length Mark plays a vital role in preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of the Kannada-speaking communities, facilitating accurate text processing and ensuring the correct transmission of information through digital means. Its presence in the Unicode Standard reflects the growing recognition of regional languages and scripts in global communication, highlighting an essential step towards inclusion and diversity in digital text representation.
