Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ౢ has the Unicode code point U+0C62. 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+0C62 to binary:
00001100 01100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+0C62, known as Telugu Vowel Sign Vocalic L, plays a vital role in the representation of the Telugu language, which is one of the major Dravidian languages spoken predominantly in the Indian states of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. In digital text, this character serves to denote the vocalic (vowel) sound "ʋ", adding to the linguistic richness of the Telugu script. The Telugu script is a part of the Brahmi family of scripts, which includes other major Indian language scripts such as Gurmukhi and Devanagari. Due to its Unicode representation, U+0C62 allows for accurate digital communication and preservation of the Telugu language across various platforms and software. It is essential in maintaining linguistic diversity and fostering cultural understanding worldwide.
