Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ච has the Unicode code point U+0DA0. 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+0DA0 to binary:
00001101 10100000. 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 10110110 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+0DA0 represents the Sinhala letter Alpaapraana Cayanana, which is a crucial component of the Sinhalese script. In digital text, this character serves as one of the essential building blocks for composing words and phrases in the Sinhalese language. The Sinhalese script, predominantly used by the Sinhalese people of Sri Lanka, belongs to the Indo-Aryan family of scripts and is written from left to right. U+0DA0 plays a vital role in preserving the linguistic heritage of this ancient script system. Alpaapraana Cayanana, like other Sinhala letters, consists of geometric shapes that are visually distinctive, making the script aesthetically pleasing and relatively easy to learn. Despite the increasing use of digital communication, the significance of the Sinhalese script remains strong in Sri Lanka, with many people continuing to use it for religious, cultural, and personal purposes. The Unicode Consortium's inclusion of U+0DA0 in its standard library reflects the importance of preserving and promoting diverse writing systems from around the world.
