Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଏ has the Unicode code point U+0B0F. 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+0B0F to binary:
00001011 00001111
. 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 10001111
ORIYA LETTER E·U+0B0F

Description
The Unicode character U+0B0F, known as ORIYA LETTER E, is an essential element of the Oriya script, which is predominantly used in the Indian state of Odisha for the Oriya language. In digital text, it serves a vital role by representing one of the 16 phonetic letters of this script and carries significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. The Oriya script, belonging to the Brahmi family of scripts, has its origins dating back to the 7th century AD and is still widely used today for various purposes such as religious texts, literature, education, and day-to-day communication in Odisha. U+0B0F holds a crucial place in enabling accurate representation of the Oriya language in digital formats, allowing for seamless communication and preservation of this rich linguistic heritage for future generations.
