Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॡ has the Unicode code point U+0961. 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+0961 to binary:
00001001 01100001
. 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 10100001

Description
U+0961 is the Unicode character code for Devanagari Letter Vocalic LL, which primarily serves as a part of the Devanagari script used in digital text. The Devanagari script is widely employed to write several modern Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali, among others. In the context of Devanagari script, this character represents a consonant that takes a specific vocalic sound depending on its position within a word or syllable. It carries cultural, linguistic, and technical significance as it is an essential component in digital text processing, enabling accurate representation of texts in these languages in various software applications and websites. By accurately encoding the Devanagari script in Unicode, U+0961 contributes to preserving and promoting the rich literary heritage of Indian languages while also facilitating global communication and collaboration in the digital age.
