Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॳ has the Unicode code point U+0973. 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+0973 to binary:
00001001 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+0973 is the Unicode character for "DEVANAGARI LETTER OE." It plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific sound or phoneme in the Devanagari script, which is predominantly used for writing Hindi and several other Indian languages. Devanagari is a highly flexible abugida system, where each character represents a consonant and an inherent vowel (a, i, u). The inherent vowel can be modified by diacritics or other characters to represent different sounds, such as the "e" sound in Devanagari letters. U+0973 is part of the extensive Devanagari character set used in various Indian languages like Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. In linguistic contexts, this character helps to maintain the phonetic accuracy and clarity of spoken language while being transcribed into written form.
