Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ঽ has the Unicode code point U+09BD. 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+09BD to binary:
00001001 10111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+09BD represents the Bengali Sign Avagraha (ব্য), a crucial diacritical mark in the Bengali script used in digital text. In the traditional Bengali alphabet, Avagraha serves as a vertical line placed above or below specific consonants to alter their sound or meaning. This diacritic is essential for proper pronunciation and comprehension of words in Bengali, a widely spoken language with over 230 million speakers across Bangladesh, India, and other regions where the Bengali diaspora resides. In digital typography, Avagraha ensures accurate representation of the intended sounds and meanings while maintaining the integrity of the written form. As a vital component of the Bengali script, U+09BD contributes to the cultural richness and linguistic diversity of global communication.
