Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଅ has the Unicode code point U+0B05. 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+0B05 to binary:
00001011 00000101. 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 10101100 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+0B05, ORIYA LETTER A (अ), is a crucial element in the Oriya script, which is primarily used for writing the Odia language, also known as Oriya or Oria, spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Odisha. As one of 41 base characters in the Oriya script block, it plays a vital role in digital text representation and communication. The character holds significant cultural importance in the eastern Indian states, where it serves as the first letter in the Odia alphabet and lays the foundation for constructing meaningful words and phrases. From a linguistic perspective, U+0B05 forms the basis of numerous words and phonemes in the Oriya language, highlighting its importance in the overall syntax and semantics of the script. In terms of technical context, the character is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, symbol, or glyph, thereby facilitating seamless digital communication across various platforms and devices. This ensures the preservation of linguistic heritage and cultural diversity in the era of global digitalization.
