Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ഊ has the Unicode code point U+0D0A. 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+0D0A to binary:
00001101 00001010
. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+0D0A is a Malayalam letter known as "UU". In the realm of digital text, it holds significance within the Malayalam script, which is predominantly used for writing in the Malayalam language, an Indo-Aryan language spoken mainly in the Indian state of Kerala. U+0D0A is a part of the larger Unicode Standard that provides a unique code point for each character, symbol, or emoji to ensure accurate representation and avoid confusion across various digital platforms and applications. The Malayalam script is characterized by its distinct glyphs, which include vowel signs and consonants with various modifiers, enabling the language's rich phonetic properties to be expressed effectively in written form. U+0D0A represents one such essential letter in the Malayalam script, and it plays a crucial role in maintaining the linguistic integrity and cultural identity of the Malayalam language in the digital realm.
