Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09D5. 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+09D5 to binary:
00001001 11010101
. 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 10010101

Description
U+09D5 is a character in the Unicode Standard, which serves as a universal encoding system for text representation across different languages and platforms. In digital text, U+09D5 represents the Devanagari character 'ग्य', a conjunct consonant-vowel combination used in the Devanagari script. Devanagari is the writing system predominantly used for the Hindi language, as well as several other Indian languages such as Marathi, Nepali, and Sindhi. This script is widely used by millions of speakers across South Asia, making it a vital component of digital communication in these regions. U+09D5's role in Devanagari typography showcases the versatility and richness of this script, which features unique characteristics like vowel signs that can be placed above, below, or alongside consonants to indicate pronunciation and meaning. As digital technology continues to bridge linguistic barriers, accurate representation of characters such as U+09D5 becomes increasingly important for preserving cultural identity and fostering global understanding.
