Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09BA. 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+09BA to binary:
00001001 10111010. 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 10111010

Description
U+09BA is a character in the Unicode Standard, which represents various symbols across different languages and platforms. In particular, U+09BA refers to the "Gurmukhi DANDA" in the Punjabi script. This character plays a crucial role in digital text by providing an accurate representation of the Gurmukhi language, mainly used among Sikhs for religious and spiritual purposes. The Gurmukhi Danda, or vertical stroke, is essential for forming consonant clusters in this script. As one of the 30 Gurmukhi consonants, it contributes to the cultural and linguistic richness of the Punjabi language, fostering communication and preservation of tradition within the Sikh community.
