Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ఈ has the Unicode code point U+0C08. 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+0C08 to binary:
00001100 00001000
. 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 10110000 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+0C08, known as the Telugu Letter II (ఢ), plays a significant role in the Telugu script, an abugida writing system predominantly used in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In digital text, this character is used to represent the consonant 'ḍ' with a secondary articulation at the tip of the tongue. As part of the Telugu script, U+0C08 contributes to the rich linguistic heritage of the Telugu language, which belongs to the Dravidian family of languages and has over 75 million speakers worldwide. This character, along with other characters in the Unicode range from U+0C00 to U+0C7F, enables accurate representation and transmission of text in the Telugu script on digital platforms, supporting communication and preservation of cultural identity for Telugu-speaking communities.
