Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ত has the Unicode code point U+09A4. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+09A4 to binary:
00001001 10100100
. 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 10100100

Description
The character U+09A4, known as the Bengali Letter Ta (ট), is a crucial element in digital typography, particularly within the Bengali script. It is a consonant in the Gurmukhi and Bengali writing systems, which are used predominantly in the Indian subcontinent for various regional languages. In the Unicode standard, U+09A4 represents this specific character. Typically, it is used to denote the voiceless alveolar stop in written forms of these languages, contributing significantly to their phonetics and pronunciation. The Bengali script, which uses the Ta character, is part of the Indic script family, and its evolution has been marked by a blend of Sanskrit and Perso-Arabic scripts over the centuries. As such, U+09A4 plays a critical role in digital text, ensuring the accurate representation and communication of linguistic nuances across various platforms and applications.
