Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଉ has the Unicode code point U+0B09. 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+0B09 to binary:
00001011 00001001
. 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 10001001
ORIYA LETTER U·U+0B09

Description
U+0B09 is the Unicode character code for Oriya Letter U (ଉ). In digital text, it serves as a unique symbol representing the letter "U" in the Oriya script, which is predominantly used for writing the Odia language, spoken primarily in the Indian state of Odisha. The Oriya script is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant with an inherent vowel, and the vowels are indicated by diacritics or separate characters. U+0B09 plays a significant role in enabling accurate digital representation and communication of the Odia language, which has a rich literary tradition dating back to ancient times. This character code contributes to preserving and promoting Oriya's cultural heritage and linguistic identity in the digital age.
