Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character െ has the Unicode code point U+0D46. 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+0D46 to binary:
00001101 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+0D46 is known as Malayalam Vowel Sign E (െ). In the digital text realm, it holds a significant role in the Malayalam script, an abugida used primarily for writing the Malayalam language. This particular vowel sign represents the phoneme /e/ and is typically appended to consonants to form syllables. The Malayalam script has a rich history, dating back over 1,000 years, and continues to be used by millions of people across Kerala, India, for written communication. Unicode's implementation of this character ensures proper display and functionality within digital text environments, facilitating the preservation and evolution of the Malayalam language in our increasingly digitized world.
