Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ട has the Unicode code point U+0D1F. 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+0D1F to binary:
00001101 00011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+0D1F represents the Malayalam letter 'TTA' (ച്ച), which is a consonant in the Malayalam script used primarily for writing the Malayalam language, spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Kerala and by the Malayali people. The Malayalam script, one of the 25 modern Indian scripts derived from Brahmi, has a rich history dating back to the 9th century CE. U+0D1F is essential for accurate digital text representation of Malayalam language content, ensuring that the unique phonetic and phonological characteristics of this Dravidian language are preserved in the digital realm. The Malayalam script is known for its aesthetically pleasing forms, complex consonant clusters, and unique rules for conjuncts, which may require the use of this specific character when transcribing or translating text from the Malayalam language into other languages that employ the Latin script.
