Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ए has the Unicode code point U+090F. 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+090F to binary:
00001001 00001111
. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+090F, known as DEVANAGARI LETTER E, is a crucial element in the Devanagari script, which is primarily used for writing the Hindi language but also serves other Indian languages such as Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. In digital text, U+090F is employed to represent the consonant "e" or "य" in Devanagari, following the principle of abugida where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowels, specifically the "a" sound. The DEVANAGARI LETTER E plays an essential role in maintaining cultural and linguistic identity among speakers of these languages, as well as facilitating communication and information exchange through digital platforms. Its accurate representation is critical for preserving the integrity of written text and ensuring clear comprehension by readers proficient in the Devanagari script.
