Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ఓ has the Unicode code point U+0C13. 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+0C13 to binary:
00001100 00010011
. 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 10010011
TELUGU LETTER OO·U+0C13

Description
The character U+0C13, commonly known as TELUGU LETTER OO, plays a significant role in the Telugu script, which is one of the 23 officially recognized languages in India. This specific character represents a consonant in the Telugu alphabet and is utilized in the creation of digital text for both informal communication and formal documentation. The Telugu script originated from the Brahmi script, which was derived from Aramaic and Phoenician scripts. It has been used to transcribe not only Sanskrit but also several other Indian languages such as Tamil, Malayalam, and Kannada. Given the linguistic complexity of the Telugu script and its widespread use in India, U+0C13 holds great importance for maintaining cultural heritage and facilitating communication within the Telugu-speaking community.
