Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0FDB. 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+0FDB to binary:
00001111 11011011. 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 10111111 10011011

Description
U+0FDB is a rare Unicode character that represents the "TAMIL LETTER RA" (CHARACTER 0FDB) in the Tamil script. This character holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within languages and linguistic contexts where the Tamil script is used. The Tamil script primarily covers the Dravidian languages such as Tamil, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu and the northeastern region of Sri Lanka. This specific character, U+0FDB, contributes to the accurate representation of the Tamil language in digital text, ensuring proper communication and understanding between speakers of the language. As a technical aspect, it is important to note that Unicode characters like U+0FDB facilitate seamless text exchange across various platforms, promoting multilingualism and global communication.
