Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॠ has the Unicode code point U+0960. 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+0960 to binary:
00001001 01100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+0960 is called Devanagari Letter Vocalic Rr. This character plays a vital role in the digital representation of text in the Devanagari script, which is primarily used for writing the Hindi language and several other Indian languages such as Sanskrit, Nepali, Marathi, and Konkani. U+0960 represents the vocalic sound 'ऋ' (rr) in the Devanagari alphabet. This character helps to maintain the phonetic and cultural accuracy of these languages when transcribed digitally or displayed on electronic devices. The Devanagari script, which includes this character among others, has been adopted as a standard for typing and printing Hindi and other Indian languages using a computer. As the usage of digital technology continues to expand in India and other countries where these languages are spoken, characters like U+0960 become increasingly important for preserving linguistic accuracy and facilitating communication in these regions.
