Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ರ has the Unicode code point U+0CB0. 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+0CB0 to binary:
00001100 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+0CB0 is the Unicode code point for "KANNADA LETTER RA." It represents a consonant in the Kannada script, which is primarily used for writing the Kannada language, spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Karnataka. This character plays an essential role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of the Kannada language on various electronic devices and platforms. The Kannada script is an abugida system, where each letter represents a consonant and the inherent vowel is "a." Therefore, "KANNADA LETTER RA" is often followed by a vowel sign to indicate the presence of a different vowel. The Kannada script has a rich history dating back to the 12th century and remains an important part of the cultural heritage of India.
