Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ര has the Unicode code point U+0D30. 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+0D30 to binary:
00001101 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+0D30 represents the Malayalam letter 'Ra' (ര). It is primarily used in digital text for the Malayalam script, which is used predominantly in the Indian state of Kerala and among the Malayali-speaking population. This script has been in use for more than 1,000 years and is characterized by its unique set of letters, vowel signs, and modifier characters. The Malayalam script is an abugida system, where each letter represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, making it distinct from other scripts. In digital text processing, the Unicode standard, including U+0D30, ensures accurate representation and handling of text in Malayalam across different platforms and applications. This has greatly facilitated communication and information exchange among the Malayali-speaking community and others who are interested in learning or studying the language.
