Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॻ has the Unicode code point U+097B. 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+097B to binary:
00001001 01111011
. 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 10111011

Description
The Devanagari script, which is used to write several languages including Hindi, Nepali, and Sanskrit, is a complex and versatile writing system that has been in use for centuries. U+097B, or the Devanagari Letter GGA, holds a significant role within this script. Typically utilized in digital text, the Devanagari Letter GGA represents a consonant in the script and is part of an intricate phonetic system where vowels and other characters are used to modify its sound. This letter has considerable cultural importance as it is widely used in various Indian languages for religious texts, literature, and everyday communication. It's also crucial from a technical perspective as it forms one of the building blocks of Devanagari text, contributing to its rich typography that distinguishes Indian written language from other scripts.
