Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ঁ has the Unicode code point U+0981. 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+0981 to binary:
00001001 10000001. 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 10000001

Description
U+0981, the Bengali Sign Candrabindu, is a crucial element in the Bengali script system, specifically used to represent long vowels and diphthongs. It's an essential part of digital text for any application or system dealing with Bengali language content. Its role is similar to that of the macron in the Latin alphabet, but it is unique to the Bengali script. The Candrabindu symbol has a significant cultural and linguistic context within the Bengali-speaking communities, as it helps accurately convey vowel sounds and thereby contributes to clearer communication in the language. Its usage underscores the importance of precision in textual representation, especially for scripts with complex phonetic systems like the Bengali script.
