Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ෧ has the Unicode code point U+0DE7. 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+0DE7 to binary:
00001101 11100111. 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 10100111

Description
The character U+0DE7, or SINHALA LITH DIGIT ONE, holds a significant position in the Sinhala language's numerical system. As part of the Sinhala script, it is primarily used for writing numbers digitally in Sinhala, an indigenous language spoken mainly in Sri Lanka. The Unicode character encodes this digit as "1", and when combined with other Sinhala numeral characters, forms a complete number. Although this character may seem similar to its Latin counterpart "1," it is essential to recognize the unique cultural context of its usage in the Sinhala script. This distinct representation contributes to maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural identity within the Sinhala-speaking community. In terms of technical aspects, U+0DE7 is a part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character, symbol, or emoji in use worldwide.
