Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ९ has the Unicode code point U+096F. 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+096F to binary:
00001001 01101111
. 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 10100101 10101111

Description
The Unicode character U+096F is the Devanagari digit nine (ड़). In digital text, it serves as a numeral within the Devanagari script, which is predominantly used for writing Hindi, a widely spoken language in India and surrounding countries. Devanagari digits are used to represent numbers in various mathematical and computational contexts in digital texts. U+096F holds cultural significance, as it forms part of the Devanagari script that has been historically used for writing Sanskrit, a classical language in South Asia, as well as modern languages such as Marathi, Nepali, and several others. The Unicode Standard ensures accurate representation and encoding of these digits, enabling proper display and interpretation across various platforms and devices.
