Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৮ has the Unicode code point U+09EE. 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+09EE to binary:
00001001 11101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+09EE represents the Bengali digit eight (৮) in digital text. This numeral holds significance within the Bengali script system, which is primarily used to write the Bengali language - a major Indo-Aryan language spoken by millions of people, predominantly in Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and parts of Assam. The use of U+09EE helps maintain consistency and legibility within text, facilitating communication and information exchange among Bengali speakers. In digital contexts, U+09EE is widely utilized across platforms for text processing, coding, and software development to ensure accurate rendering and preservation of the Bengali script. Its accurate representation in various media formats enables cultural authenticity, as well as linguistic fidelity for Bengali-speaking communities.
