Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09C5. 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+09C5 to binary:
00001001 11000101. 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 10100111 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+09C5 holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography. It represents the 'EKARA SIGN' ( Devanagari Number 6 ) in Devanagari script, which is primarily used for writing Hindi and several other Indian languages. In digital text, it serves as a crucial element to ensure accurate representation of these languages. The Devanagari script forms the basis for many South Asian languages, including Marathi, Nepali, Bengali, Sanskrit and others. It's important to note that the proper functioning of this character is pivotal in fields such as linguistics, cultural preservation, and global digital communication, particularly within the Indian subcontinent and its diaspora. The EKARA SIGN (U+09C5) plays a vital role in maintaining the authenticity and cultural integrity of these languages when rendered digitally.
