Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ഞ has the Unicode code point U+0D1E. 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+0D1E to binary:
00001101 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+0D1E represents the Malayalam letter "Nya" (ന്യ), which is an essential element of the Malayalam script, a writing system used primarily in the South Indian language of Malayalam. In digital text, this character plays a critical role in enabling accurate and authentic representation of the Malayalam language on digital platforms and software. The Malayalam script, which is derived from the Vatteluttu script of the Sangam literature period, has a rich history dating back to the 1st century CE. With over 31 million native speakers, Malayalam is an influential regional language in India, contributing to its cultural and linguistic diversity. In terms of technical context, the Malayalam script employs a range of diacritics and modifiers that interact with the base characters like U+0D1E to create a comprehensive and expressive writing system, reflecting the nuances of the Malayalam language.
