Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॴ has the Unicode code point U+0974. 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+0974 to binary:
00001001 01110100
. 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 10110100

Description
U+0974 is the Unicode code point for Devanagari Letter OOE (ओए), a unique glyph in the Devanagari script. The Devanagari script, used primarily for writing the Hindi language, has its roots in Sanskrit and was developed around the 10th century CE. In digital text, U+0974 serves as a crucial element, representing phonetic and semantic values essential to the accurate translation of written content in various regional languages that use the Devanagari script, such as Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. The glyph's usage adheres to specific rules within the Devanagari writing system, which includes a clear sequence for placing consonants, vowels, and other diacritical marks. U+0974 is part of the extended Devanagari character set (U+0900 - U+097F), reflecting its role in supporting linguistic diversity within the Indian subcontinent.
