Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ౕ has the Unicode code point U+0C55. 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+0C55 to binary:
00001100 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+0C55, known as the Telugu Length Mark, holds a significant position in digital text, specifically within the Telugu script used predominantly in the Indian subcontinent. This character serves to designate the length of a syllable, enabling readers and software applications to accurately identify and process the phonetic structure of Telugu words. The Telugu script, being an abugida system, requires specific rules for marking syllable lengths which are crucial in representing accurate pronunciation and meaning. Consequently, U+0C55 has immense cultural, linguistic, and technical relevance, ensuring that the richness of the Telugu language is preserved and conveyed accurately in digital text form across platforms and applications worldwide.
