Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ড has the Unicode code point U+09A1. 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+09A1 to binary:
00001001 10100001. 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 10100001

This character is part of the Extended Bangla script block within the Unicode Standard, providing a comprehensive range of characters necessary for writing Bengali text accurately. The BENGALI LETTER DDA represents a consonant sound in the Bengali language, specifically the 'ḍa' or 'ḍā', which is pronounced as a voiceless alveolar tap or trill and can be transliterated into English using the Latin script as 'd'. Its typical usage in digital text is to render and represent the distinct phonetic sound found exclusively in the Bengali language. The character has no equivalent in other languages, emphasizing its unique cultural and linguistic significance in the context of Bengali literature, including modern and historical texts, signage, and various forms of media. As an essential element within the Extended Bangla script, the BENGALI LETTER DDA contributes to maintaining linguistic accuracy, facilitating effective communication, and preserving cultural heritage in digital form.
