Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ജ has the Unicode code point U+0D1C. 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+0D1C to binary:
00001101 00011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+0D1C, Malayalam Letter Ja, is a character in the Unicode standard that plays an essential role in digital text representation of the Malayalam script. This script is predominantly used for writing the Malayalam language, which is primarily spoken in the Indian state of Kerala and among Malayali diaspora communities worldwide. In the Malayalam script, each character represents a syllable rather than a single consonant or vowel, as seen in other scripts like Devanagari or Latin. The Ja character represents a specific combination of consonants and vowels when used in text, contributing to the unique phonetic structure of the Malayalam language. As part of the Unicode standard, U+0D1C ensures accurate digital representation and processing of the Malayalam script across various platforms and devices, enabling seamless communication and preservation of cultural heritage in cyberspace.
