Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೳ has the Unicode code point U+0CF3. 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+0CF3 to binary:
00001100 11110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+0CF3 represents the "Kannada Sign Combining Anusvara Above Right." It is a diacritical mark used in the Kannada script, which primarily serves the Kannada language spoken by millions of people in India. In digital text, it plays a crucial role in assisting with accurate pronunciation and intonation in the Kannada language, as it indicates the position of the anusvara, a sound modifier that changes the sound value of a consonant in syllables or words where it appears. The anusvara above right is used when the base letter is followed by another consonant with anusvara below, and its placement helps to signify specific phonetic distinctions in Kannada. This character is integral to preserving linguistic accuracy and maintaining cultural heritage within digital platforms for the Kannada language.
