Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৎ has the Unicode code point U+09CE. 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+09CE to binary:
00001001 11001110
. 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 10001110

Description
U+09CE is a Bengali letter known as 'Bengali Letter Khanda Ta'. In the realm of digital typography, it plays a crucial role in representing the Bengali language, which is predominantly spoken in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. This Unicode character is part of the Bengali script that has its roots in the ancient Brahmi script and has evolved over centuries, reflecting the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of the region. U+09CE is primarily used to represent the 'kha' sound when it appears at the end of a word or as a conjunct with other Bengali characters, ensuring accurate pronunciation and maintaining proper grammatical structures in written Bengali. As part of the Unicode standard, its use promotes global language inclusivity and fosters effective communication across diverse linguistic communities.
