Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൙ has the Unicode code point U+0D59. 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+0D59 to binary:
00001101 01011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+0D59 is the Unicode code point for the Malayalam Fraction One Fortieth character. In digital text, it primarily serves a typographical purpose, representing a specific fraction in the ancient Indian numeral system used in the Malayalam script. The character is used to denote one-fortieth (1/40) as a unit of measure or value within the context of Malayalam literature, where this numeral system was predominantly employed for mathematical calculations and scientific notation. Although it is not widely used in modern digital text, U+0D59 remains an important aspect of historical and cultural significance, reflecting the rich heritage of Malayalam typography and mathematics.
