Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ଽ has the Unicode code point U+0B3D. 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+0B3D to binary:
00001011 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+0B3D, known as the Oriya Sign Avagraha, plays a significant role in digital typography, particularly within the Oriya language. In this script, it is used to represent a unique feature called "vowel-less syllable" or "anusvara," which is an indicator of a specific sound or phoneme. While it may seem to be an insignificant character due to its absence in the English alphabet, its importance lies in its ability to convey intricate linguistic nuances within Oriya texts. Its cultural and technical context within digital text is crucial for accurate translation and representation of the Oriya language's rich phonetic and grammatical structure.
