Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ফ has the Unicode code point U+09AB. 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+09AB to binary:
00001001 10101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+09AB, known as the Bengali Letter Pha (ব), plays a crucial role in digital text by representing a specific consonant sound within the Bengali script. This script is primarily used for writing the Bengali language, which is spoken by millions of people across India and Bangladesh. As a part of the Gurmukhi family of scripts, U+09AB has its roots in the ancient Brahmi script used for Sanskrit. In digital text, U+09AB is typically combined with other characters to form various words and phrases. Its accurate usage contributes significantly to preserving the linguistic and cultural heritage of Bengali-speaking communities. Additionally, it is essential in the fields of translation, internationalization, and localization for software applications and websites.
