Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॶ has the Unicode code point U+0976. 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+0976 to binary:
00001001 01110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+0976 represents "DEVANAGARI LETTER UE" in the Devanagari script. This particular script is primarily used for writing the Hindi language, which is one of the most widely spoken languages globally. In digital text, this character's primary role is to maintain the linguistic integrity and meaning of texts written in the Devanagari script. The Devanagari script holds a significant cultural and linguistic context for millions of Hindi speakers worldwide. It was developed around the 10th century AD in India, and it has been the primary script used for writing multiple languages including Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, and many other Indian regional languages. Its unique design features set it apart from other scripts, making it highly recognizable to those familiar with South Asian languages. Technically speaking, U+0976 is part of the Devanagari Extended block in Unicode. This means that characters in this range are typically used for extended Devanagari letters, digits, punctuation, and other specific symbols necessary for various Indian languages. These characters allow for a more comprehensive representation of these languages in digital media, supporting their growth and the communication needs of their speakers. In summary, U+0976 is a crucial character in maintaining the linguistic accuracy of Devanagari-based languages. Its usage in digital text helps preserve the cultural heritage and linguistic integrity of the languages that use the Devanagari script.
