Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ং has the Unicode code point U+0982. 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+0982 to binary:
00001001 10000010. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+0982, known as the Bengali Sign Anusvara, is an important symbol in the Bengali script. It plays a pivotal role in digital text by marking the nasalization of the preceding vowel. In the context of Bengali typography, the Anusvara is often used to indicate that the previous vowel should be pronounced with a nasal sound, similar to the English 'ng' sound. This character also holds significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it helps maintain the proper pronunciation of words in the Bengali language, which has more than 200 million native speakers worldwide. The accurate representation of this symbol in digital text is crucial for preserving the linguistic integrity of the Bengali language.
