Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0E6E. 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+0E6E to binary:
00001110 01101110
. 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 10111001 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+0E6E, also known as හ, is a unique symbol with significant roles in digital text. It is predominantly used in the Sinhala language, which is primarily spoken in Sri Lanka. In this context, the character serves as a phonetic representation for the sound "ha" and is often employed in both written and spoken communication. This symbol's presence in the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent every character needed to express any human-readable text, underscores its importance within the Sinhala language and Sri Lankan culture.
