Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ಼ has the Unicode code point U+0CBC. 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+0CBC to binary:
00001100 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+0CBC represents the Kannada Sign Nukta (ᆅ) in the Kannada script, which is one of the 47 major Dravidian languages spoken primarily in the Indian state of Karnataka and parts of Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Kerala, and Maharashtra. In digital text, U+0CBC is used to represent this unique Kannada letter that serves as a modifier or diacritic for other characters in the script. The Nukta character has a significant role in enabling accurate and correct representation of Kannada language texts, which is crucial for effective communication and preservation of cultural heritage. As digital technology continues to expand globally, proper encoding of such unique characters becomes increasingly important for ensuring inclusivity and accessibility in the digital realm.
