Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character श has the Unicode code point U+0936. 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+0936 to binary:
00001001 00110110. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+0936 represents Devanagari Letter Sha (श), a significant letter in the Devanagari script used for writing the Hindi language and several other Indian languages. This character plays an essential role in digital text, as it enables accurate representation of the written form of the Hindi language on digital platforms, including websites, documents, and applications. The Devanagari script, which includes U+0936, is widely used across India and among the Indian diaspora, showcasing its cultural and linguistic importance. U+0936 contributes to the richness of this script by representing one of its 14 consonants, which are combined with vowel signs called "matras" to create syllables. The Devanagari script has a strong historical background, dating back to at least the 10th century AD, and it continues to evolve in response to modern needs for digital communication.
