Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ज़ has the Unicode code point U+095B. 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+095B to binary:
00001001 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+095B is known as Devanagari Letter ZA (ड़). In the Devanagari script, this character serves a crucial role in representing the phonetic value /ʐ/ or /ʒ/, which is not present in all Indo-Aryan languages but is common in many. Its usage is predominantly seen in the Hindi and Marathi languages, where it denotes specific sounds that are integral to the language's phonology. The character is widely used in digital text for its precise representation of these sounds, thus enabling accurate transcription and communication in these languages. It is also significant from a technical standpoint as it exemplifies Unicode's mission to support multiple scripts and languages worldwide, fostering cross-cultural understanding and effective communication.
