Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৻ has the Unicode code point U+09FB. 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+09FB to binary:
00001001 11111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+09FB, also known as the Bengali Gandha Mark, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as an orthographic mark used in the Bengali script. This character is primarily employed in written texts to indicate the presence of a 'gandha' or nasalized sound in certain words, thus contributing to the proper pronunciation and comprehension of the language. The use of U+09FB in Bengali typography reflects its cultural and linguistic importance, as it helps maintain the accuracy of oral and written communication among Bengali speakers. In technical terms, this character is part of the Bangla block within the Unicode Standard, which comprises a comprehensive range of characters required for representing the Bengali language accurately in digital text.
