Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ड़ has the Unicode code point U+095C. 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+095C to binary:
00001001 01011100. 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 10011100

Description
U+095C is a character in the Devanagari script, which is widely used for writing several languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, and others. The character itself, DEVANAGARI LETTER DDDHA (U+095C), represents a consonant in these languages. Specifically, it is the consonant 'ड़', which is known as 'Dddha' or 'ḍa' in English. In its typical usage in digital text, this character follows a vowel marker and precedes other consonants within a word. The Devanagari script, including characters like U+095C, is part of the Unicode Standard, which aims to represent all known characters from every written language across the world. This makes it essential for accurately representing text in these languages on digital platforms and software applications.
