Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+09DB. 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+09DB to binary:
00001001 11011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+09DB is a character from the Devanagari script, which is primarily used for writing the Hindi language. In digital text, this character often serves as a diacritic to modify the base character that precedes it. Specifically, U+09DB represents the "nukta," a small vertical stroke placed after certain consonants in Devanagari script to indicate that the following vowel is short. This is crucial in Hindi and other languages that use the Devanagari script, as it helps maintain accurate pronunciation and meaning in words. The character plays a vital role in digital text processing systems for these languages by enabling proper word segmentation and text-to-speech conversion.
