Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ल has the Unicode code point U+0932. 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+0932 to binary:
00001001 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+0932 is known as DEVANAGARI LETTER LA. In the Devanagari script, which is predominantly used for writing in Hindi, it represents a consonant sound. This particular letter is part of a larger set called the "Devanagari script" that was created around the 10th century AD. It forms an important part of digital text, as it allows for the accurate representation and communication of the Hindi language on devices and applications worldwide. The use of Devanagari script in the digital world has been made possible by the adoption of Unicode standard, which provides a unique number (code point) for every character used across different languages and platforms. This ensures that texts remain clear, consistent, and free from confusion or misinterpretation despite variations in devices or software being used.
