Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ୢ has the Unicode code point U+0B62. 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+0B62 to binary:
00001011 01100010
. 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 10100010

Description
U+0B62 is a character from the Oriya script, which is used primarily for writing the Odia language, also known as Oriya. The Oriya script is a member of the Indic script family and is widely used in Eastern India, particularly in the states of Odisha and West Bengal. The Unicode character U+0B62 represents the vowel sign "vocalic l" in the Oriya script. In digital text, this character serves an important role in accurately transcribing words in the Odia language by indicating the presence of a specific vowel sound. Its precise usage depends on its placement within a word or phrase, as it may represent a long or short vowel sound depending on context. U+0B62 contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of the Oriya script, which has been in use for over 1,500 years, and plays a crucial role in preserving the cultural identity of the Odia-speaking communities.
