Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0895. 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+0895 to binary:
00001000 10010101. 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 10100010 10010101

Description
U+0895 is a typographical character in the Unicode standard that represents the Letter Gurmukhi Ya (ᨯ). This character plays a significant role in digital text as it is commonly used in the Gurmukhi script, which is primarily employed for writing the Punjabi language. The Punjabi language, spoken by millions of people around the world, particularly in India and Pakistan, holds immense cultural and historical significance. The Gurmukhi script itself has a rich heritage, having been used since the 12th century to write various Indian languages, including Sikh religious texts. U+0895 is essential for accurate representation of text in digital environments, ensuring that Punjabi literature, documents, and other media can be preserved and shared across different platforms and devices. The Gurmukhi Ya (ᨯ) is a crucial component of this script, contributing to the continuity and coherence of written Punjabi language.
