Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ୖ has the Unicode code point U+0B56. 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+0B56 to binary:
00001011 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+0B56, known as ORIYA AI LENGTH MARK, is a crucial element in the Oriya script, which is predominantly used for writing the Odia language. This script originates from the Brahmi script of ancient India and has been in use since the 7th century. The primary function of U+0B56 is to indicate the length of a syllable or word in the Oriya text, aiding in pronunciation and readability. Although this character serves a technical purpose, it is an essential part of the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of Odisha, an eastern Indian state. In digital text, U+0B56 ensures accurate representation of Oriya language by serving as a length marker for the syllable or word that follows it. This ensures clear communication and maintains the linguistic integrity of the text. Therefore, this Unicode character plays a vital role in preserving the cultural identity and facilitating effective communication in the Oriya language.
