Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ఌ has the Unicode code point U+0C0C. 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+0C0C to binary:
00001100 00001100
. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+0C0C, known as TELUGU LETTER VOCALIC L, is a significant element in digital text representation of the Telugu language, a Dravidian language primarily spoken in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In this script, it represents one of the 16 vowel sounds used in the Telugu language, specifically the long 'i' sound. The character is also part of the Extended Telugu script block, which includes additional symbols beyond the original 1978 Telugu script established by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). U+0C0C is particularly important for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural authenticity in digital communication and documentation involving the Telugu language. The accurate representation of this character and others in its family contributes to the preservation and development of a rich linguistic heritage.
