Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ඏ has the Unicode code point U+0D8F. 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+0D8F to binary:
00001101 10001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+0D8F represents the Sinhala letter 'Iluyanna' (ඉ), which is used in the Sinhalese script. This script is primarily utilized for writing the Sinhalese language, an Indo-Aryan language spoken predominantly in Sri Lanka. The Sinhala script, developed around the 3rd century BCE, is written from left to right and incorporates a unique system of vowel diacritics. In digital text, U+0D8F serves as a critical component in rendering accurate and legible Sinhalese text for both human readers and machines. While the character's use is predominantly linguistic, its role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage is equally significant.
