Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ఀ has the Unicode code point U+0C00. 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+0C00 to binary:
00001100 00000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0C00, known as the Telugu Sign Combining Candrabindu Above, is a typographical element used in digital text representation of the Telugu language. As part of the extended Unicode system, this character plays a crucial role in the accurate rendering and display of words in the Telugu script. The Telugu language, which originates from South India, has over 40 million native speakers and is one of the Dravidian languages. The U+0C00 character serves as a combining form to be applied above other Telugu letters for phonetic modification or emphasis. It is specifically used in the formation of 'Candrabindu', which is an inherent part of Telugu orthography and signifies the long 'a' sound when placed over a vowel. The character is not standalone but is typically combined with other vowel signs to create complex consonants, thus making it integral to the structure and syntax of the Telugu script. In terms of technical context, U+0C00 does not hold any unique coding properties apart from its specific Unicode position. It relies heavily on adjacent characters for its function within the text. Its correct placement is critical to maintaining linguistic accuracy in digital content and applications that handle the Telugu script. Despite its non-standalone usage, U+0C00 plays a crucial role in enhancing the readability and accessibility of Telugu language texts in the digital world. It is a key example of how Unicode ensures the accurate representation of diverse languages and scripts across various platforms and devices.
