Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೆ has the Unicode code point U+0CC6. 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+0CC6 to binary:
00001100 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+0CC6, also known as the Kannada Vowel Sign E, holds significant importance in the Kannada language, a major Dravidian language spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Karnataka. In digital text, it serves as a vital component for correctly rendering and transcribing written content in this language. The character is used to denote the vowel sound 'e' in Kannada script, which is essential for accurately conveying meaning in written communication. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+0CC6 ensures the seamless representation and compatibility of Kannada text across various digital platforms and applications. Its inclusion in the Unicode system reflects the ongoing efforts to preserve and promote linguistic diversity and cultural heritage worldwide.
