Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ற has the Unicode code point U+0BB1. 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+0BB1 to binary:
00001011 10110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Tamil Letter Rra (U+0BB1) is a significant character in the Tamil language's typography, primarily used in digital text. In its typical usage, it holds a crucial role in forming words and sentences within the Tamil script. Tamil, a Dravidian language predominantly spoken in South India, especially in the state of Tamil Nadu, has an extensive range of characters to represent various phonetic sounds. U+0BB1 specifically represents the 'rra' sound, which is distinct from the commonly known 'ra' and 'RR' in the Tamil script. As a result, its inclusion in digital text enables more accurate representation and communication of the Tamil language online, aiding linguistic preservation and cultural understanding. Furthermore, U+0BB1's significance extends to its technical context - as part of Unicode, it ensures compatibility across various platforms and devices, facilitating global accessibility to Tamil literature and resources. Overall, U+0BB1 serves as an essential character in the digital representation of the Tamil language, preserving linguistic nuances and cultural richness for future generations.
