Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09D1. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+09D1 to binary:
00001001 11010001
. 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 10010001

Description
U+09D1 is a character in the Unicode Standard, which plays a crucial role in enabling the accurate and consistent representation of text across various digital platforms and devices. This specific character holds significant importance within the Gujarati script, a language predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat and by Gujarati-speaking communities around the world. In the context of the Gujarati script, U+09D1 represents the consonant "ક" or "ka", which is phonetically represented as /k/, a sound produced with the closure of the vocal tract at the lips. It forms part of the larger group of characters known as Devanagari scripts, and is used in conjunction with vowel marks to create complete syllables, facilitating accurate pronunciation and communication for Gujarati speakers. U+09D1, or "ક", serves as a fundamental building block within the Gujarati language, contributing to its rich linguistic heritage and cultural identity.
