Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character थ has the Unicode code point U+0925. 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+0925 to binary:
00001001 00100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+0925 represents the Devanagari letter "Tha" (ध). In the Devanagari script used primarily for writing Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and other Indian languages, it occupies a significant role. Typically used in digital text for its phonetic representation of the voiceless alveolar stop sound (/t/) in these languages, U+0925 is an essential character for transcribing spoken language accurately into written form. Culturally, the Devanagari script holds great significance as it is used to write several major Indian languages, which are spoken by millions of people worldwide. In linguistic contexts, the letter "Tha" forms part of numerous words and phrases in these languages, contributing to their grammar and syntax rules. From a technical standpoint, U+0925 is encoded within the Devanagari block of Unicode characters, ensuring proper display and functionality across various digital platforms and software that support Unicode text. This encoding allows for compatibility and interoperability between different devices, systems, and applications, facilitating seamless communication and information exchange in these languages globally.
