Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൡ has the Unicode code point U+0D61. 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+0D61 to binary:
00001101 01100001. 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 10110101 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+0D61 is a Malayalam letter, specifically the Malayalam Vocalic LL (റ). In digital text, it plays an important role in representing the sounds of the Malayalam language, which is predominantly spoken in Kerala, India. The Malayalam script is an abugida system where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel 'a'. However, the letter U+0D61 denotes a distinct vocalic sound, 'ḷ', that can occur in the middle or end of a word. The character's usage in digital text reflects its cultural and linguistic importance, enabling accurate representation of Malayalam language text and facilitating effective communication within the community. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character ensures interoperability across various platforms and applications, ensuring the preservation of linguistic diversity in the digital world.
