Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0984. 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+0984 to binary:
00001001 10000100. 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 10000100

Description
The Unicode character U+0984 holds a unique position in the world of digital typography. Representing the Devanagari letter "ŚA", it is primarily used in the Indian language, Sanskrit, as well as other languages that utilize the Devanagari script, such as Hindi and Marathi. The character's role is integral in these languages, serving to articulate various meanings depending on its position within a word or sentence. In Sanskrit, for example, it represents both the consonant "ś" and the vowel "ā". Its usage is thus not only limited to phonetic representation but also extends to indicating the length of the vowel sound. The technical context of U+0984 highlights its importance in accurately rendering written communication within these linguistic spheres, contributing to the preservation and dissemination of cultural heritage through digital text.
