Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ఋ has the Unicode code point U+0C0B. 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+0C0B to binary:
00001100 00001011
. 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 10001011

Description
U+0C0B is a character from the Unicode standard, representing the Telugu letter "వాడిక" or "Vocālic R". In digital text, this character serves as one of the 68 characters in the Telugu script used to represent vowel sounds. The Telugu language is primarily spoken in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as well as in parts of Tamil Nadu and Puducherry. It is a Dravidian language with a long history dating back to over 1,000 years. In linguistic and cultural contexts, U+0C0B is essential for the accurate representation of spoken Telugu, which relies heavily on its vowel sounds for meaning. This character also plays a significant role in the technical domain, as it helps in rendering the correct typography for digital platforms and applications that support the Telugu script.
