Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൕ has the Unicode code point U+0D55. 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+0D55 to binary:
00001101 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+0D55 represents the Malayalam letter 'ഖി' or Chillu Y. This character is predominantly used in the Malayalam script, which belongs to the Dravidian family of languages and is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Kerala. In digital text, U+0D55 serves as a fundamental building block for encoding Malayalam text, allowing for accurate representation and communication of the language online. The Chillu Y holds significance in the Malayalam script due to its unique shape, which distinguishes it from other characters within the script. While there may not be any direct cultural or linguistic context that sets this particular character apart, U+0D55 plays a crucial role in preserving and propagating the rich literary tradition of the Malayalam language through digital platforms.
