Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ෫ has the Unicode code point U+0DEB. 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+0DEB to binary:
00001101 11101011. 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 10110111 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+0DEB, or SINHALA LITH DIGIT FIVE, plays a significant role in digital texts by representing the numeral five in Sinhala script. This character is part of the Sinhala (सिँහल) language, which is predominantly spoken in Sri Lanka. The Sinhala script is an abugida system, meaning that each symbol represents a consonant sound and an inherent vowel sound. In digital communication, U+0DEB is essential for accurately conveying numerical values within Sinhala-language texts. The use of this character in digital texts allows for the preservation of linguistic and cultural context, promoting accurate communication and understanding between Sinhala speakers and those engaging with their content worldwide.
