Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൱ has the Unicode code point U+0D71. 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+0D71 to binary:
00001101 01110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+0D71 represents the Malayalam numeral for one hundred. In the Malayalam script, this digit is used to denote the number 100 in written text, primarily in the Malayalam language which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Kerala and among Malayali diaspora communities. The character's role in digital text is crucial for accurate representation of numerical data, especially in the context of Malayalam literature, education, and documentation. Being a part of the Unicode Standard, U+0D71 allows for proper display and encoding of Malayalam numerals on various platforms and devices, ensuring consistency and preservation of cultural heritage through digital means.
