Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character శ has the Unicode code point U+0C36. 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+0C36 to binary:
00001100 00110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+0C36 represents the Telugu letter "SHA" (ష), which is used in the modern Telugu script to represent the consonantal sound /ʃ/ as per the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). It plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Telugu language, which is predominantly spoken in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states in India. The character forms part of the extensive Telugu script, which consists of 56 basic characters including vowels and consonants, and has been widely adopted for digital communication. U+0C36 "SHA" is essential for preserving the linguistic integrity of written Telugu and supporting its use in various applications, such as word processing software, websites, and mobile devices, ensuring that speakers of this language can effectively communicate in their native tongue across different platforms.
