Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ं has the Unicode code point U+0902. 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+0902 to binary:
00001001 00000010. 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 10000010

Description
U+0902 Devanagari Sign Anusvara is a unique typographic character in the Devanagari script, which is primarily used for writing Hindi and several other Indian languages. It serves as an essential element in digital text to indicate nasalization of a consonant in the Devanagari script. Typically, Anusvara is placed after a vowel sign or vowel-consonant cluster and before a new consonant, signifying a nasalized sound. The character is vital for accurate representation of Hindi pronunciation and proper functioning of text-to-speech systems in the language. It also aids in the seamless flow of text within digital platforms such as websites, e-books, and document processing software, thereby preserving the linguistic integrity and cultural nuances of the Devanagari script.
