Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character আ has the Unicode code point U+0986. 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+0986 to binary:
00001001 10000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+0986 represents the Bengali letter "AA" (আ), a significant component of the Bengali script. In digital text, it is used for representing the sound /ʌ/, which is an open-mid back unrounded vowel in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). The character is widely utilized in written Bengali language, predominantly used in Bangladesh and parts of India where Bengali is spoken. The use of U+0986 in text is vital for accurate representation of the Bengali language, enabling effective communication among speakers and readers of this language.
