Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ೄ has the Unicode code point U+0CC4. 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+0CC4 to binary:
00001100 11000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+0CC4 is a Unicode character representing the Kannada Vowel Sign Vocalic RR (KVSVR). This character plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Kannada language, which is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka. In the Kannada script, U+0CC4 denotes the combination of two vowels: "ra" and "ru". It's used to create new words or modify existing ones, ensuring accurate pronunciation and meaning are preserved for readers familiar with the language. The KVSVR is part of a larger set of characters called the Kannada script, which includes letters, numerals, punctuation marks, and other symbols unique to this Dravidian language. Due to its cultural significance and linguistic importance, U+0CC4 contributes to the preservation and propagation of Kannada as a living language in the digital age.
