Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ি has the Unicode code point U+09BF. 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+09BF to binary:
00001001 10111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+09BF, known as Bengali Vowel Sign I (অ), is a crucial character in the Unicode Standard that plays an indispensable role in digital text encoding of the Bengali language. As part of the extended script for Bengali, which is the official language of Bangladesh and one of the two national languages of India (the other being Hindi), U+09BF contributes significantly to the representation of words in this rich and vibrant language. In terms of usage, it represents the 'a' sound, and combines with consonants to create distinct syllables within Bengali text. This character is integral to the maintenance and propagation of Bengali culture, literature, and academic pursuits, as well as in modern digital communication via messaging apps, social media platforms, and websites that support the language. As a part of the Unicode system, U+09BF enables seamless interoperability between different digital devices and software, facilitating its usage across various platforms without compromising on linguistic accuracy or cultural nuance.
