Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ீ has the Unicode code point U+0BC0. 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+0BC0 to binary:
00001011 11000000. 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 10101111 10000000

Description
U+0BC0, the Tamil Vowel Sign II, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing a specific vowel sound used in the Tamil language. It is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code for every character in every written language. The Tamil language, primarily spoken in South India, is part of the Dravidian family of languages and has a rich history that dates back over two millennia. As an essential element within the Tamil script, the Tamil Vowel Sign II helps maintain the accuracy and expressiveness of digital text, facilitating effective communication among speakers of the language. In this way, U+0BC0 contributes to preserving cultural identity and linguistic heritage in the rapidly evolving digital world.
