Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ୴ has the Unicode code point U+0B74. 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+0B74 to binary:
00001011 01110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+0B74, ORIYA FRACTION THREE QUARTERS, is a specialized symbol used in digital text to represent three-quarters of a quantity when writing in the Oriya script. It is part of the Indic script family and is primarily utilized within the Odia language, which is predominantly spoken in the eastern Indian state of Odisha. In Oriya typography, this character plays an essential role in expressing fractions accurately for mathematical calculations or measurements in traditional texts. The usage of U+0B74 is mainly limited to the context of Oriya language and may not be widely recognized or employed in other linguistic or cultural settings. As a result, its relevance in digital text primarily serves the needs of those reading, writing, or translating documents in the Odia language, ensuring the accurate representation of mathematical fractions within this particular script.
