Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ು has the Unicode code point U+0CC1. 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+0CC1 to binary:
00001100 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+0CC1 represents the Kannada vowel sign "U" (KANNADA VOWEL SIGN U). In digital text, this glyph is used for phonetic representation in the Kannada script, which is one of the 21 scripts utilized by the Dravidian language family. The Kannada script has been in use since at least the 7th century AD and remains a significant component of South Indian culture. U+0CC1 is an integral part of this script, helping to accurately convey the pronunciation and meaning of words and phrases within the Kannada language. Additionally, its role in digital text ensures that materials in the Kannada language can be represented correctly across various platforms, such as websites, word processors, and mobile applications, thereby preserving linguistic integrity and facilitating communication among native speakers and scholars of the Kannada language worldwide.
