Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৾ has the Unicode code point U+09FE. 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+09FE to binary:
00001001 11111110. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+09FE, known as the Bengali Sandhi Mark, plays a significant role in digitally written Bengali language texts. Its primary function is to denote where two words should be conjoined in the text based on linguistic rules specific to the Bengali language. This sandhi mark is crucial for maintaining accurate grammaticality and meaning in the text. It is also an essential tool for ensuring proper pronunciation and intonation when the text is spoken, as it represents a specific rule of vowel harmony in Bengali phonology. The use of this character helps to maintain the integrity of the language's unique syntactic and morphological features, allowing speakers and readers of Bengali to understand the text accurately and fluently.
