Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+098E. 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+098E to binary:
00001001 10001110. 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 10001110

Description
The Unicode character U+098E represents the Devanagari character 'क़', also known as Ka-ra or Ka-danda. In digital text, this character is used primarily within the Devanagari script, which is the primary writing system for several languages including Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. This character is crucial in these languages, as it represents a consonant cluster that can significantly alter the pronunciation and meaning of words. The Ka-ra or Ka-danda in Devanagari script is unique because it combines both a consonant and a vowel mark in one glyph, which simplifies the process of text input and enhances readability. It has significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in South Asian languages, where it enables accurate representation of the rich phonetic diversity of these languages.
