Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ൃ has the Unicode code point U+0D43. 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+0D43 to binary:
00001101 01000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+0D43 is a character from the Malayalam script, which is primarily used for writing the Malayalam language, predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Kerala. This particular character, ര (MALAYALAM VOWEL SIGN VOCALIC R), represents the vowel sound 'ra' or 'ri'. In digital text, it is used to indicate the presence and pronunciation of this specific vowel sound in Malayalam words. The Malayalam script belongs to the Brahmi family of scripts and has been in use since the 19th century. It is a syllabic script, meaning that each character represents either a consonant or a combination of a consonant and a vowel sound. U+0D43, as part of this script, plays a crucial role in accurately representing the Malayalam language's phonetic and grammatical structures in written form. As such, it holds cultural, linguistic, and technical significance within the context of the Malayalam-speaking community and digital text processing systems.
