Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଂ has the Unicode code point U+0B02. 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+0B02 to binary:
00001011 00000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+0B02, known as ORIYA SIGN ANUSVARA, is a significant element in the Oriya script, which is primarily used for writing the Odia language, also known as Oriya, the official language of the Indian state of Odisha. In digital text, this character serves a crucial role as it appears before consonants to indicate a nasalization or change in the pronunciation. It is an essential part of the script, influencing both the phonetics and grammar of Oriya texts. While its cultural significance may not be widespread outside of the Odia-speaking community, it plays a pivotal role within that linguistic sphere, enabling clear communication and accurate expression of ideas in the language. The ORIYA SIGN ANUSVARA is not only essential for the proper functioning of text in digital environments but also serves as a vital component of traditional Oriya manuscripts and printed materials.
