Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ତ has the Unicode code point U+0B24. 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+0B24 to binary:
00001011 00100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+0B24, known as ORIYA LETTER TA, is a crucial component of the Oriya script, which is used to write the Odia language, predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Odisha. In digital text, this character plays an indispensable role by representing the consonant 'Ta' with the aspirated sound [tʰ] in the Odia language. As a member of the Brahmic family of scripts, ORIYA LETTER TA is deeply rooted in traditional Indian writing systems and carries significant cultural and linguistic value. The Oriya script is an abugida system, where each letter represents a consonant and an inherent vowel 'a', which can be modified by diacritics to represent other vowels. U+0B24 ORIYA LETTER TA contributes to the rich literary tradition of Odia language, encompassing classical works, modern literature, and various forms of media such as newspapers, books, and digital platforms. It is also essential for linguistic research, translation, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
