Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৱ has the Unicode code point U+09F1. 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+09F1 to binary:
00001001 11110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+09F1 is known as the "Bengali Letter Ra With Lower Diagonal" and plays a vital role in the Bengali language, which is primarily spoken in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. This specific character has a unique appearance with an added lower diagonal stroke, setting it apart from other similar Bengali letters such as "Ra" (U+098A). The U+09F1 character is commonly used in digital text for its distinctiveness, enabling accurate representation and communication of the Bengali language. As the Bengali script belongs to the Indic family of scripts, it follows a complex system with over 1400 characters that can be combined in different ways to form words. This makes U+09F1 an essential part of the Bengali typography, allowing for proper linguistic expression and cultural representation in digital spaces.
