Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ई has the Unicode code point U+0908. 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+0908 to binary:
00001001 00001000. 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 10001000

Description
U+0908 is a character in the Devanagari script, used primarily in digital text for representing the letter "ड़" (Devanagari Letter II). Devanagari is a widely used abugida writing system that forms the basis of several modern languages, including Hindi and Nepali. This script follows a systematic way of encoding consonants and vowels, with each character representing a combination of both a base consonant and its inherent vowel sound. In the case of U+0908, it represents the Devanagari letter "ड़" when followed by the "आ" vowel symbol (U+0950). This distinctive letter is an important part of these languages' grammar and syntax, as it serves to modify the base consonant's pronunciation. As a result, U+0908 plays a crucial role in accurately conveying meaning and maintaining linguistic integrity within digital texts written in Devanagari-based languages.
