Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ণ has the Unicode code point U+09A3. 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+09A3 to binary:
00001001 10100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+09A3, also known as BENGALI LETTER NNA, plays a significant role in the Bengali language, which is primarily spoken in the region of Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. This particular character is used to represent the 'nna' sound, a unique phonetic element in the Bengali script. In digital text systems, U+09A3 helps maintain the integrity of the Bengali language by providing an accurate visual representation of this distinctive sound. BENGALI LETTER NNA, like other characters in the Gurmukhi script block (which contains 142 characters), adheres to a specific order and structure when used within text. This ensures clarity and proper interpretation for Bengali speakers and learners alike. While U+09A3 is not as widely recognized as some other characters, it remains an essential component in the rich tapestry of the Bengali language and typography.
