Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৗ has the Unicode code point U+09D7. 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+09D7 to binary:
00001001 11010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+09D7 is known as the Bengali Au Length Mark, a vital glyph in the Bengali script used for digital text representation. This character serves a crucial role in Bengali typography by helping to accurately distinguish word lengths and syllable divisions. In the Bengali language, which is primarily spoken in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal, vowels can be nasalized or oral, lending additional phonetic nuances. The Au Length Mark assists in visually conveying these distinctions to typographers, writers, and readers, ensuring clarity and proper pronunciation. Additionally, the character adheres to Unicode standards for consistent encoding across various digital platforms and applications.
