Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ொ has the Unicode code point U+0BCA. 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+0BCA to binary:
00001011 11001010. 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 10001010

Description
The character U+0BCA, Tamil Vowel Sign ஒ (O), is a vital component of the Tamil script, which is used primarily in the Tamil language. As an essential part of digital text, this glyph serves to denote the vowel "o" in the Tamil writing system. The Tamil script is widely employed for communication and literature in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the island nation of Sri Lanka. Tamil, one of the oldest languages in the Dravidian family, has a rich literary history dating back to at least 200 BCE. U+0BCA (TAMIL VOWEL SIGN O) is crucial for maintaining the accuracy and coherence of text written in this ancient language. The Tamil script's unique set of vowel signs enables precise representation of its phonetic inventory, contributing to the richness and expressiveness of Tamil literature and culture.
