Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ഐ has the Unicode code point U+0D10. 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+0D10 to binary:
00001101 00010000. 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 10110100 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+0D10, known as the Malayalam Letter AI, is an essential part of the Malayalam script used in digital text. In this script, it represents a consonant sound, 'a', and is crucial for accurate representation of the language's phonetics. The Malayalam script itself belongs to the Dravidian family of scripts and is primarily used for writing the Malayalam language, which is mainly spoken in the Indian state of Kerala. The U+0D10 character plays a pivotal role in preserving the rich cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Malayalam-speaking population by enabling digital representation of their language with precision and accuracy. In a technological context, it ensures compatibility across various platforms and software that support Unicode encoding, thus facilitating seamless communication and information exchange among users who speak or write in Malayalam.
