Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ୦ has the Unicode code point U+0B66. 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+0B66 to binary:
00001011 01100110
. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+0B66 is known as ORIYA DIGIT ZERO. In the realm of digital typography, this character serves a crucial role in representing the numeral zero within the Oriya script, which is primarily used for writing the Odia language, also known as Oriya, an Indian language native to the eastern state of Orissa (present-day Odisha). The Oriya script belongs to the Brahmi family and has been in use since the 1st century CE. In digital communication and text processing, U+0B66 facilitates accurate representation and interpretation of numeric values within Oriya documents or electronic resources. This character's precise and unambiguous encoding is vital for maintaining cultural integrity and ensuring seamless information exchange within Oriya-speaking communities worldwide.
