Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൾ has the Unicode code point U+0D7E. 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+0D7E to binary:
00001101 01111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+0D7E, the Malayalam Letter Chillu LL, is a unique character within the Unicode system, specifically used in the Malayalam script, which is predominantly utilized for writing the Malayalam language. This particular character plays a significant role in the digital representation of text in the Malayalam script, allowing for a more accurate and comprehensive rendering of the language's rich linguistic heritage. The Malayalam script is an abugida system, where each letter represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel (usually 'a'). The Chillu LL character is a modifier used in conjunction with other letters to form specific consonant-vowel combinations. The precise use of the Malayalam Letter Chillu LL contributes to the preservation and promotion of the cultural and linguistic identity of Malayalam speakers, primarily concentrated in the Indian state of Kerala and among the global Malayali diaspora.
