Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ಪ has the Unicode code point U+0CAA. 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+0CAA to binary:
00001100 10101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+0CAA, also known as KANNADA LETTER PA, is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents one of the 47 letters in the Kannada script. The Kannada language, spoken primarily in the Indian state of Karnataka, is part of the Dravidian family of languages. U+0CAA or 'ప' (in its Telugu representation) plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling accurate and consistent encoding, storage, and display of Kannada language content across various platforms and devices. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that it can be easily integrated with other characters from different languages and scripts, fostering greater cross-linguistic communication and interoperability on the internet and in software applications.
