Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ର has the Unicode code point U+0B30. 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+0B30 to binary:
00001011 00110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+0B30 represents the "Oriya Letter Ra" (ର) in the Oriya script, which is primarily used for writing the Odia language. This script has its origins in the ancient Brahmi script and later evolved into the Gadugia script during the Kalinga period. The Oriya script is mainly used in the Indian states of Odisha and Chhattisgarh, as well as among Odia-speaking communities in neighboring regions. In digital text, U+0B30 serves a vital role by enabling accurate representation and transmission of the Odia language through various communication channels. The Oriya script is known for its distinct and visually appealing features that contribute to its cultural significance and linguistic richness, setting it apart from other Indian scripts.
