Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character উ has the Unicode code point U+0989. 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+0989 to binary:
00001001 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0989 is known as the Bengali Letter U. It plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Bengali language. This script, which belongs to the Indic family of scripts, is predominantly used for typing and reading Bengali texts. The Bengali script has its roots in the Brahmi script, and it was modified by the Pala Empire during the 8th-10th centuries. It consists of 17 vowels and 36 consonants that can be combined with a total of 45 vowel signs to form various letters. U+0989 (Bengali Letter U) is considered as one of these essential letters, contributing greatly to the richness and expressiveness of the Bengali language.
