Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ಘ has the Unicode code point U+0C98. 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+0C98 to binary:
00001100 10011000. 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 10110010 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+0C98 represents the Kannada letter "Gha". It is a critical element in the Kannada script, which is primarily used for writing the Kannada language spoken by millions of people in the Indian state of Karnataka and other parts of India. As part of the Kannada digital text, U+0C98 plays an essential role in preserving and transmitting the rich cultural heritage and literature of the region. The Kannada script is an abugida system, meaning each letter has a base consonant sound and an inherent vowel 'a', which can be modified by diacritical marks to represent other vowels. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it's important to note that U+0C98 is a crucial component for accurate representation of Kannada texts in digital platforms, enabling the preservation and dissemination of this linguistic treasure trove.
