Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ఄ has the Unicode code point U+0C04. 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+0C04 to binary:
00001100 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+0C04, known as the "Telugu Sign Combining Anusvāra Above," plays a vital role in digital text by assisting with the representation of specific phonetic or grammatical features in the Telugu language. As part of the rich and complex Telugu script, this character is used to denote the anusvara (ఆ), which is an inherent element of many Telugu sounds and words. It is typically used in combination with other characters to form a complete glyph or word. The anusvāra above (U+0C04) is applied above the base character, helping to signify vowel length, pronunciation, or grammatical functions in the language. This character holds immense importance for accurate communication and understanding of Telugu literature, text, and digital content, reflecting the linguistic and cultural richness of this Dravidian language spoken predominantly in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana.
