Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ় has the Unicode code point U+09BC. 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+09BC to binary:
00001001 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+09BC, known as the Bengali Sign Nukta, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Bengali language. It is a preliminary consonant sign that precedes vowel characters in the Bengali script, enabling the accurate representation of syllables and words. The Nukta is also used to mark the beginning of words or phrases when no other initial consonant is present. This typographical feature is unique to the Bengali script and reflects its cultural and linguistic context. In digital text processing and typography, it's crucial for maintaining the integrity of the language, as its omission can lead to misinterpretation or loss of meaning. The Nukta is a vital component in preserving the identity and expressiveness of the Bengali language through the medium of digital text.
