Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character শ has the Unicode code point U+09B6. 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+09B6 to binary:
00001001 10110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+09B6 represents the Bengali letter "Sha" (শ), which plays a significant role in digital text as it is part of the widely used Bengali script. This script is primarily used for writing the Bengali language, an Indo-Aryan language spoken predominantly in Bangladesh and the Indian states of West Bengal, Tripura, and the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. The Bengali script, like other scripts derived from the Brahmi script, features a unique system of diacritics, which include the use of vertical strokes to indicate vowel sounds. In the context of the Bengali language, U+09B6 is essential for accurately conveying meaning and maintaining linguistic integrity in written communication. As digital technology continues to advance, it becomes increasingly crucial to ensure accurate representation of such scripts in software and applications to preserve cultural heritage and facilitate effective communication among Bengali-speaking communities around the world.
