Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൪ has the Unicode code point U+0D6A. 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+0D6A to binary:
00001101 01101010. 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 10110101 10101010

Description
The Unicode character U+0D6A is known as Malayalam Digit Four (ള). This digit is used extensively in the Malayalam script, which is predominantly used for writing the Malayalam language, one of the major languages spoken in the Indian state of Kerala. The Malayalam script itself is based on the Vatteluttu script that has a history dating back to around 900 AD. In digital text, U+0D6A serves as a numeral within the context of the Malayalam language and plays an important role in mathematical equations and expressions written in this script. The use of these characters helps maintain the integrity of the language while also facilitating its adaptation to modern digital communication platforms.
