Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09B4. 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+09B4 to binary:
00001001 10110100. 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 10110100

Description
U+09B4 is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing the Devanagari letter "अँ" (Anusvara). In the realm of digital text, this character plays a significant role, particularly in the Devanagari script, which is predominantly used for writing Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and several other Indian languages. The Anusvara is an important diacritic mark that denotes both a nasalization and a consonant-vowel coalescence. It is employed to modify the inherent sound of a consonant, transforming it into a nasalized or a nasalized stop sound. Given its cultural and linguistic importance in Devanagari script-based languages, U+09B4 has a crucial place within typography and the digital text realm. Its accurate usage is essential to maintain the integrity of written communication in these languages.
