Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character থ has the Unicode code point U+09A5. 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+09A5 to binary:
00001001 10100101. 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 10100101

Description
The character U+09A5 represents the Bengali letter "ঠ", also known as Tha in the Latin script. It plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the Bengali language, which is predominantly spoken in the regions of West Bengal (India), Bangladesh, and other parts of South Asia where the Bengali diaspora resides. This letter is an essential component of the Gurmukhi script system, a Brahmi-derived abugida used for writing several languages, including Punjabi, in the Indian subcontinent. Tha is a consonant and is part of the larger group of voiceless alveolar stops in the Bengali language. Its usage is guided by various linguistic rules, such as conjunct consonants and vowel diacritics that influence its appearance and pronunciation within words. U+09A5 Tha contributes to the richness and diversity of the Bengali typography, reflecting the unique cultural identity and heritage of this language-speaking community.
