Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ނ has the Unicode code point U+0782. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+0782 to binary:
00000111 10000010. 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:

Description
U+0782 is a Unicode character representing the Thaana letter Noonu (ନ), which is used in the Dhivehi language spoken primarily in the Maldives. Thaana script, also known as Dhives Akuru or Dhevi Akuru, is a unique abugida writing system that was developed around the 16th century. It is written from left to right and consists of 25 consonants, each with six modifiers for voicing and vowel sounds. Thaana script has gained significant importance in the Maldives as it serves a crucial role in preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Maldivian people. The use of Unicode characters like U+0782 ensures accurate representation and exchange of digital text in Thaana script across various platforms, applications, and devices, thereby promoting efficient communication and information sharing in the Dhivehi language.
