Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൝ has the Unicode code point U+0D5D. 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+0D5D to binary:
00001101 01011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+0D5D, known as the Malayalam Fraction Three Twentieths, holds a significant role in digital text related to the Malayalam script. This script is primarily used for writing the Malayalam language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Kerala and among the Malayali people globally. The Malayalam Fraction Three Twentieths symbol represents a specific fraction value within this unique script, contributing to the precision and clarity of mathematical expressions in digital text. Although it may not be widely recognized outside the context of Malayalam, its inclusion in the Unicode character set reflects the ongoing efforts towards the comprehensive representation and support of diverse languages and scripts around the world.
