Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ി has the Unicode code point U+0D3F. 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+0D3F to binary:
00001101 00111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+0D3F Malayalam Vowel Sign I is a crucial character in the Malayalam script, which is primarily used for writing the Malayalam language, an Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Kerala. This Unicode character serves as a diacritical mark or vowel sign that modifies the base consonant it accompanies, just like other vowel signs in the Malayalam script (U+0D41 to U+0D6E). The use of this character contributes to the rich tradition of written Malayalam literature and facilitates accurate communication in digital texts. In its role as a vowel sign, U+0D3F helps convey the precise phonetic and grammatical structure of words within the Malayalam language, reflecting its significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance.
