Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ர has the Unicode code point U+0BB0. 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+0BB0 to binary:
00001011 10110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+0BB0, Tamil Letter Ra (ழ), is a significant element of the Tamil script. In digital text, it serves as a fundamental building block for creating words in the Tamil language. As part of the Tamil script, which belongs to the Dravidian family of languages, the character Ra plays a vital role in written communication and cultural expression. The Tamil script is primarily used in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of Puducherry, as well as among Tamil-speaking communities across the globe. U+0BB0 is an essential part of this script, contributing to the rich linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the Tamil people. It also helps maintain linguistic continuity by enabling accurate digital representation and transmission of Tamil texts, which in turn facilitates communication and preserves the language's distinctive character within the ever-expanding realm of the internet and modern technology.
