Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ன has the Unicode code point U+0BA9. 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+0BA9 to binary:
00001011 10101001. 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 10101110 10101001

Description
The Tamil letter U+0BA9 is a significant character within the Unicode Standard, representing the Tamil script's "NNNA" glyph. This specific letter holds an essential role in digital text, specifically for the Tamil language, which is predominantly used in India and among Tamil speakers globally. The Tamil script, one of the Dravidian family of scripts, has been a part of the Unicode Standard since version 1.0.1 in 1991. Its inclusion allows for accurate representation and communication across digital platforms, contributing to cultural preservation and linguistic diversity on the internet. While not as widely recognized as other scripts globally, the Tamil script remains an integral part of the world's linguistic landscape, with U+0BA9 being a vital component in maintaining this rich and unique language.
