Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ঞ has the Unicode code point U+099E. 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+099E to binary:
00001001 10011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+099E, Bengali Letter Nya, is an essential component of the Bengali script, which is used primarily in the Bangla language of Bangladesh and India's West Bengal region. In digital text, it serves as a phonetic representation of the sound /ɲ/ or //nj/, a palatal nasal consonant that occurs in various words and syllables within the Bengali language. The usage of U+099E helps maintain linguistic accuracy and facilitates effective communication among native speakers, ensuring cultural authenticity in digital text. Its significance lies in the fact that it's part of a script that has evolved over centuries to represent a rich linguistic heritage and vibrant culture, with roots dating back to the 12th century. The Bengali script itself is an abugida system, where each letter represents a consonant cluster with inherent vowel sounds, and U+099E contributes to this unique phonetic structure.
