Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ऍ has the Unicode code point U+090D. 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+090D to binary:
00001001 00001101
. 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 10100100 10001101

Description
U+090D is the Unicode code point for Devanagari Letter Candrā, a character used in the Devanagari script which represents an ancient writing system primarily employed for the Hindi language. In digital text, this letter is used to represent the phoneme "c" or the consonant "ख़" (kha) in the International Phonetic Alphabet. The Devanagari script is widely utilized in various Indian languages such as Marathi, Sanskrit, and Nepali, playing a crucial role in the linguistic diversity of South Asia. It was designed to facilitate accurate representation of the sounds of the Hindi language, improving readability and comprehension for both native speakers and learners alike. The use of Devanagari script in digital text has greatly increased accessibility to Indian languages, promoting cultural preservation and fostering communication across linguistic barriers.
