Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ః has the Unicode code point U+0C03. 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+0C03 to binary:
00001100 00000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+0C03, known as the Telugu Sign Visarga, plays a crucial role in digital text by representing a vowel sound in the Telugu script, an Indo-Aryan language primarily spoken in India. This unique character is specifically used to denote the "h" sound at the end of words or syllables, contributing to the phonetic richness and expressiveness of the Telugu language. In a linguistic context, it is essential for accurate transcription and translation, enabling effective communication among native Telugu speakers and scholars alike. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that this vital aspect of the Telugu script can be accurately represented in digital formats and software applications, promoting cultural preservation and global understanding.
