Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09D6. 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+09D6 to binary:
00001001 11010110
. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+09D6 is a unique glyph that primarily serves as a typographical element in the Devanagari script. As an integral part of this prominent writing system, which is predominantly used for the Hindi language but also extensively employed for several other Indian languages such as Sanskrit and Marathi, U+09D6 plays a crucial role in conveying linguistic information with precision and clarity. Within the context of digital text, it contributes to the accurate representation and reproduction of these languages across various platforms and devices. Given its critical role in typography for multiple Indian languages, U+09D6 carries significant cultural and linguistic importance, reflecting the richness and diversity of the Indian subcontinent's heritage and literary tradition.
