Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ऽ has the Unicode code point U+093D. 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+093D to binary:
00001001 00111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+093D, Devanagari Sign Avagraha, is an essential element within the Devanagari script system used primarily for writing the Hindi language and several other Indian languages such as Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. In digital text, this glyph serves a specific purpose in facilitating text flow by indicating where a new syllable begins. It is utilized to separate two consecutive matras (a phonetic element used in Devanagari script) without changing the inherent sound of the preceding consonant. This allows for a smoother and more accurate representation of spoken language, enabling users to read and understand digital text with greater ease. The Devanagari Sign Avagraha is an important aspect of linguistic and cultural expression in Indian languages, reflecting their unique phonetic characteristics and contributing to the rich diversity of global written communication.
