Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൭ has the Unicode code point U+0D6D. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0D6D to binary:
00001101 01101101
. 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 10101101

Description
The Unicode character U+0D6D, Malayalam Digit Seven, plays a significant role within the realm of digital typography and text representation in the Malayalam language. As one of ten unique numeric characters in the Malayalam script (U+0D00 to U+0D2F), the U+0D6D character is utilized to represent the number seven. In this capacity, it serves a crucial function in digital communication and documentation that require adherence to linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity. The Malayalam script, predominantly used for writing in the Indian state of Kerala, employs these unique numeric characters to seamlessly integrate numerical values with the text, thereby maintaining the fluidity of reading experiences. By using U+0D6D, users can convey information in a culturally appropriate manner while ensuring technical accuracy within digital platforms and applications that support Unicode standards.
