Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൞ has the Unicode code point U+0D5E. 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+0D5E to binary:
00001101 01011110
. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+0D5E, known as the Malayalam Fraction One Fifth, holds a significant position in the world of digital text. As part of the Malayalam script, it is predominantly used in the Malayalam language, which is mainly spoken in the Indian state of Kerala. This character specifically represents one-fifth of a whole entity and is commonly used when conveying fractions within mathematical equations or calculations in digital text formats. While its usage might be more prevalent in certain fields, such as mathematics, science, or engineering, it serves an essential role in maintaining accuracy and clarity across various disciplines that require the representation of fractions.
