Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ౬ has the Unicode code point U+0C6C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0C6C to binary:
00001100 01101100
. 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 10110001 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+0C6C, known as the Telugu Digit Six, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing the numeral six in the Telugu script. As one of the 17 digits (U+0C67 to U+0C72) in the Telugu numerals block, it is used extensively within the Telugu language, which is primarily spoken in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as well as by Telugu-speaking communities worldwide. The character's usage serves a significant function in enabling accurate communication and data representation for the millions of speakers who rely on it. Furthermore, its inclusion in Unicode (a computing industry standard for encoding text) ensures compatibility across various platforms and applications, thereby promoting digital inclusivity for Telugu-speaking users.
