Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ෯ has the Unicode code point U+0DEF. 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+0DEF to binary:
00001101 11101111. 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 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+0DEF, known as the Sinhala Lith Digit Nine, is a crucial element in the Sinhalese script. This numeral serves as the digit 'nine' in the Sinhala language, which is predominantly spoken in Sri Lanka. In digital text, U+0DEF is used to represent the numerical value of nine within a numeric context or for formatting purposes. It is important to note that this character is not only used in written communication but also has significant cultural and linguistic implications. The Sinhala script, which includes this character, is part of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Brahmic family of scripts, and its usage contributes to the rich literary heritage of Sri Lanka. Furthermore, U+0DEF plays a crucial role in digital communication for individuals who converse or conduct business using the Sinhala language, as it helps maintain linguistic accuracy and coherence in written interactions.
