Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ୈ has the Unicode code point U+0B48. 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+0B48 to binary:
00001011 01001000. 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 10101101 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+0B48, also known as ORIYA VOWEL SIGN AI, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Oriya language. In typography, it serves to denote the presence and pronunciation of vowels within text written in this Indian language. The Oriya script, which belongs to the Indic family of scripts, is predominantly used for writing the Odia (previously known as Orissa) language, spoken primarily in the Indian state of Odisha. This character, along with other vowel and consonant signs, enables accurate transcription and communication of text in the Oriya script, thereby preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Odia-speaking community. The U+0B48 ORIYA VOWEL SIGN AI is essential for maintaining the accuracy and readability of digital texts written in this language, ensuring that Oriya literature, documents, and digital media can be accessed and understood by both native and non-native speakers alike.
