Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ഓ has the Unicode code point U+0D13. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0D13 to binary:
00001101 00010011
. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+0D13 represents the Malayalam letter "OO" (ൃ). In the Malayalam script, which is predominantly used in written Malayalam language of Kerala, India, this character plays a significant role in digital text. It is part of a larger group of characters that includes the base Malayalam script (U+0D00-0D7F) and additional characters for various linguistic requirements. The Malayalam script has its roots in the ancient Brahmi script, which was introduced to the region by Tamil traders during the 3rd century BCE. Over time, the script evolved with influences from Sanskrit, Telugu, and other regional languages, resulting in the modern Malayalam script used today. The use of U+0D13 and other Unicode characters in digital text ensures accurate representation of the Malayalam language, preserving its cultural and linguistic heritage for future generations.
