Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ऄ has the Unicode code point U+0904. 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+0904 to binary:
00001001 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+0904, the Devanagari Letter Short A, plays a significant role in the written form of several Indian languages, primarily Sanskrit, Hindi, and Marathi. It is a vital component of the Devanagari script, which is used by over 250 million people worldwide. This character is often employed to depict the short 'a' sound, providing crucial phonetic distinctions in these languages. The Devanagari script, itself a descendant of the Brahmi script, serves as the basis for many other Indian scripts, further amplifying the impact and importance of U+0904 in digital text.
