Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09C9. 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+09C9 to binary:
00001001 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+09C9 is a unique character in the Unicode standard, representing a specific glyph within the Devanagari script. Its typical usage or role in digital text lies primarily within the context of the Hindi language, where it serves as a consonant-conjunct form of "क" (KA). This particular symbol is often employed when the base character "क" precedes certain other characters and requires an additional diacritical mark to accurately depict its pronunciation. By providing this essential detail, U+09C9 plays a crucial role in maintaining the accuracy and clarity of text written in Hindi or any language that utilizes the Devanagari script. In addition to its linguistic significance, U+09C9 reflects the ongoing evolution of digital typography. As more languages and scripts are incorporated into Unicode, characters like U+09C9 become increasingly important for ensuring the accurate representation of text in various cultural contexts. This focus on accuracy underscores the importance of a comprehensive and adaptable typographic system, one that accounts for the nuances of different languages and scripts while maintaining a cohesive structure for digital text.
