Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ං has the Unicode code point U+0D82. 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+0D82 to binary:
00001101 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
U+0D82 is a character from the Sinhala script, representing the "Anusvara" (එ) in digital text. The Anusvara is an inherent vowel that modifies the sound of a consonant, acting as a grammatical marker in Sinhala language. This character is essential for accurate and meaningful communication in Sinhala, which is one of the two official languages of Sri Lanka and spoken by over 16 million people worldwide. The Anusvara, like other characters in the Sinhala script, follows specific rules for its placement relative to the consonants it modifies. As a key element in written and digital communication within the Sinhala language community, U+0D82 plays a critical role in preserving linguistic identity and cultural heritage.
