Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ㌓ has the Unicode code point U+3313. 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+3313 to binary:
00110011 00010011. 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:
11100011 10001100 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+3313, known as the SQUARE GIRUDAA, is a unique typographical symbol that plays a vital role in digital text, particularly within the Hindi script. It is used to represent the "r" sound at the end of a word or syllable and is often found in text written using the Devanagari script. Its primary usage is in the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of Sikhism, where it is employed to represent the specific pronunciation of certain words as per the phonetic rules of the language. This character's inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that digital texts can accurately convey the nuances of Hindi and other languages that use Devanagari script, thus preserving linguistic integrity and cultural identity in the age of digital communication.
