Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଷ has the Unicode code point U+0B37. 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+0B37 to binary:
00001011 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+0B37, or ORIYA LETTER SSA, is a character within the Oriya script, primarily used for the Odia language, also known as Oriya, which is an Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Odisha. In digital text, this character represents the phonetic sound "ssa" or its equivalent in various dialects and accents. The Oriya script itself has a rich history, with its origins dating back to ancient times, and it plays a significant role in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Odia people. U+0B37, along with other characters in the Oriya script, contributes to the distinctiveness of the language and helps maintain linguistic diversity. Its use is essential for proper communication and expression within the Odia-speaking community, as well as in educational, literary, and research contexts.
