Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character റ has the Unicode code point U+0D31. 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+0D31 to binary:
00001101 00110001. 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 10110001

Description
The character U+0D31, also known as Malayalam Letter RRA, is a crucial component of the Malayalam script, which is predominantly used for writing the Malayalam language. This script is primarily employed in the Indian state of Kerala and among the Malayali diaspora globally. The Malayalam script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel sounds, and additional vowels are marked through diacritics or separate characters. U+0D31 is classified under the Unicode Standard, which ensures uniformity in digital text representation across different platforms and devices. Its typical usage in digital text includes composing and displaying Malayalam text on computers, smartphones, websites, and other digital platforms. The character has significant cultural and linguistic importance as it preserves the richness of the Malayalam language, which is known for its extensive vocabulary, grammatical complexity, and poetic traditions.
