Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09D2. 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+09D2 to binary:
00001001 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+09D2 holds a significant position in the realm of digital typography. It is predominantly used to represent the Devanagari letter "आ" (Aa), which is crucial for the written form of multiple languages, most notably Hindi and Nepali. This character's utilization is not limited to these languages alone, as it also finds use in several other Indic languages that employ the Devanagari script. In a broader context, U+09D2 symbolizes the phoneme /a:/, which signifies a long 'a' sound. This character's inclusion in digital text ensures the accurate representation of these languages on various electronic devices and platforms, thereby preserving linguistic integrity and cultural heritage in our increasingly globalized and digitally-driven world.
