Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൖ has the Unicode code point U+0D56. 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+0D56 to binary:
00001101 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+0D56, the Malayalam letter Chillu LLL, is a significant character in the Malayalam script, an abugida writing system predominantly used for the Malayalam language. In digital text, it primarily serves as a base consonant, carrying the primary phonetic value and modifying its inherent vowel sound based on subsequent characters in a word. The Malayalam script is widely used in Kerala, South India, and among Malayalee diaspora communities around the world. This script has a rich history dating back to the 9th century and is notable for its unique structure and use of vowel signs that are placed above or below the consonant characters. The Malayalam language is part of the Dravidian family of languages, which also includes Tamil, Telugu, and Kannada, among others. U+0D56 plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the Malayalam-speaking communities.
