Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ବ has the Unicode code point U+0B2C. 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+0B2C to binary:
00001011 00101100
. 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 10101100
ORIYA LETTER BA·U+0B2C

Description
The Unicode character U+0B2C, known as ORIYA LETTER BA, is an essential element within the Oriya script, a writing system predominantly used for the Odia language in India. This typographical character plays a vital role in digital text, allowing for the accurate representation and communication of the Odia language on digital platforms, software applications, and websites. The Oriya script, which belongs to the Brahmic family of scripts, has a rich history that dates back to the 1st century AD. As an integral part of this ancient writing system, U+0B2C (ORIYA LETTER BA) contributes significantly to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Odia-speaking communities in India.
