Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൲ has the Unicode code point U+0D72. 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+0D72 to binary:
00001101 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+0D72, or Malayalam Number One Thousand, is a digit character primarily used in the Malayalam script, which is native to the South Indian state of Kerala and Lakshadweep Union Territory. The Malayalam script belongs to the Brahmi family and is written from left to right. This character represents the numeral "one thousand" and serves an essential role in the digital text representation of numbers within the Malayalam language, facilitating accurate communication, record-keeping, and computations. While this digit may appear similar to its Latin counterpart '1', it has unique typographic characteristics that reflect the distinctive features of the Malayalam script, such as its curved forms and rounded lines. The Malayalam script and its numerals hold a significant cultural value, as they have been in use for centuries and continue to be an essential part of Kerala's linguistic heritage.
