Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ె has the Unicode code point U+0C46. 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+0C46 to binary:
00001100 01000110. 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 10110001 10000110

Description
U+0C46, also known as Telugu Vowel Sign E, is a vital character in the Telugu script, a Dravidian language predominantly spoken in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, as well as by Telugu-speaking communities around the world. This Unicode character serves a crucial role in digital text representation by denoting the long 'e' vowel sound in Telugu words, contributing to accurate and coherent communication. Its usage is fundamental in transcribing the Telugu language into the digital realm, facilitating text processing, analysis, and preservation of linguistic heritage. The character U+0C46 holds cultural significance as it represents one of five vowel signs in the Telugu script, which employ a unique system of matra-based diacritics to modify the base consonant characters. This feature sets Telugu typography apart from other scripts and showcases the rich linguistic diversity present in the Indian subcontinent.
