Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ऊ has the Unicode code point U+090A. 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+090A to binary:
00001001 00001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+090A, known as DEVANAGARI LETTER UU, holds a significant position in the digital representation of the Devanagari script. It is utilized to depict the specific consonant sound "uu" in written texts that follow this script. This unique character contributes to the accurate rendering and readability of digital text in languages like Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and several other Indian languages. The Devanagari script, which originated in Northern India around the 10th century, is an abugida system where every consonant has an inherent vowel sound associated with it. Therefore, the U+090A character may carry additional vowel marks to modify the basic consonantal meaning, providing a flexible and expressive writing system. This character's accurate representation in digital platforms is crucial for maintaining cultural integrity and linguistic authenticity in digital texts of these languages.
