Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0896. 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+0896 to binary:
00001000 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+0896 is a character from the Unicode standard that represents the Anusvara (अँ), a diacritical mark used in various Indian languages such as Sanskrit, Marathi, Kannada, and Telugu. In digital text, its typical usage or role is to denote the nasalization of a vowel sound, specifically anusvara, which indicates that the vowel preceding it should be pronounced with a nasalized quality. Anusvara is essential in these languages for accurate pronunciation and proper communication, as it affects the phonetic properties of vowels. U+0896 holds significance in the linguistic and cultural contexts of the regions where these languages are spoken, reflecting the rich history and tradition of Indian scripts and their unique diacritical marks.
