Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଣ has the Unicode code point U+0B23. 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+0B23 to binary:
00001011 00100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+0B23, known as ORIYA LETTER NNA, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Oriya script, which is primarily used for written communication in the Indian state of Odisha and parts of West Bengal. In digital text, it typically serves as a unique grapheme to represent the specific phonetic or semantic characteristics of the character. As part of the Oriya script, U+0B23 contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of the region and facilitates effective communication among native speakers. It is essential to note that ORIYA LETTER NNA holds no exceptional technical context outside its use in this specific script system, but it remains an integral part of Oriya typography and digital text representation.
