Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൻ has the Unicode code point U+0D7B. 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+0D7B to binary:
00001101 01111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+0D7B is the Malayalam Letter Chillu N (ഛി). It plays a crucial role in digital text, particularly within the Malayalam script, which is predominantly used for writing the Malayalam language. This language belongs to the Dravidian family of languages and is spoken primarily in the Indian state of Kerala. The Malayalam script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel 'a'. U+0D7B is used as a consonant-vowel sequence character, representing the 'cha' sound when combined with the inherent vowel. This character holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in the digital world, enabling accurate representation and communication of the Malayalam language through various devices and platforms. The Unicode standard ensures that characters like U+0D7B are consistently rendered across different systems, preserving the integrity of the text for both native and non-native speakers.
