Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৽ has the Unicode code point U+09FD. 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+09FD to binary:
00001001 11111101. 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 10100111 10111101

Description
U+09FD, the Bengali Abbreviation Sign, is a crucial character in the Unicode Standard used to represent abbreviations within digital text. It plays an essential role in the Bengali language, enabling concise and accurate representation of abbreviated words or phrases. As part of the Unicode 5.1 standard released in 2008, this unique character contributes to the extensive typography ecosystem of the Bengali script. The Bengali Abbreviation Sign is a fundamental element for those working with digital texts in the Bengali language or studying linguistic and cultural aspects of the region, as it allows for more precise communication and lessens potential misunderstandings that could arise from overly lengthy explanations.
