Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଈ has the Unicode code point U+0B08. 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+0B08 to binary:
00001011 00001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+0B08 is known as ORIYA LETTER II, which plays a significant role in the Oriya language, also referred to as Odia. This language primarily spoken in India holds an esteemed position in the Eastern states of Odisha and West Bengal. Its scripts are derived from the Brahmi script of ancient India and follow the principle of abugida or vowel-syllable alphabets, where each consonant has a base sound and inherits the vowel sound attached to it. U+0B08, ORIYA LETTER II, is commonly used in digital text and has its own unique position in linguistic and cultural contexts, enriching the expression of Oriya literature, religious texts, and everyday communication.
