Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0B53. 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+0B53 to binary:
00001011 01010011
. 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 10101101 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+0B53 represents the Kannada letter "ഹ" (ha). This character is used within the Kannada script, which belongs to the Dravidian family of scripts and is primarily used for writing the Kannada language. Kannada is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Karnataka and parts of Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and Tamil Nadu. In digital text, U+0B53 plays a crucial role by enabling the accurate representation and encoding of Kannada texts, promoting cultural and linguistic diversity online. Its usage is essential in applications like text editors, websites, and software that require support for multiple languages, particularly within South Asian regions where the Kannada language is spoken.
