Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ಇ has the Unicode code point U+0C87. 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+0C87 to binary:
00001100 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+0C87 is the Unicode code point for Kannada Letter I, a character commonly used in digital texts that adhere to the Kannada script. The Kannada script is an abugida writing system native to the South Indian language of Kannada, which is predominantly spoken in the state of Karnataka, India. The U+0C87 character plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Kannada people. As part of an abugida system, each character represents both a consonant and its inherent vowel, with "I" representing the basic consonant-vowel combination /i/. The use of U+0C87 in digital texts allows for accurate representation and communication of the Kannada language across various platforms, thereby contributing to the cultural and linguistic preservation of this ancient script.
