Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ঀ has the Unicode code point U+0980. 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+0980 to binary:
00001001 10000000
. 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 10100110 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0980 is called Bengali Anji (ব). This character plays a crucial role in the Bengali script, which is primarily used for writing the Bengali language, the official language of Bangladesh and one of the two national languages of India, along with Hindi. In digital text, Bengali Anji represents the consonant 'b' in the Bengali alphabet and is typically found at the beginning or within words. It also serves as a base form for constructing conjunct consonants in the Bengali script. The character has significance in the cultural context of Bengal, a region with a rich literary history that includes works from renowned authors like Rabindranath Tagore and Michael Madhusudan Dutt. The accurate representation of Bengali Anji in digital text is essential for maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitating communication among native speakers and scholars of the language.
