Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ৌ has the Unicode code point U+09CC. 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+09CC to binary:
00001001 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+09CC is a character from the Unicode standard, representing the Bengali vowel sign Au (আৌ). It plays a vital role in digital text processing, particularly within the Bengali language, which is predominantly spoken in Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal. The character serves as a phonetic symbol, helping to denote the pronunciation and stress patterns of words in written form. Its primary function is to modify the sound of preceding consonants, allowing for greater clarity and precision in communication. U+09CC is part of the larger Bengali script family, which includes 14 vowel signs and 35 consonant characters, all of which are essential components in the formation of distinct Bengali words and phrases. As a result, accurate representation of U+09CC and other characters in digital text processing systems is crucial for preserving the linguistic integrity and cultural nuances inherent to the Bengali language.
