Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ँ has the Unicode code point U+0901. 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+0901 to binary:
00001001 00000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+0901 represents the Devanagari Sign Candrabindu (ड़), a diacritical mark used in the Devanagari script. In digital text, this character is typically employed to modify vowels and consonants, helping to convey distinct phonetic nuances in words and phrases written in the Devanagari script. The script primarily serves the Hindi language but also encompasses Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, and other Indian languages. U+0901 is integral to these linguistic systems due to its role in denoting the long a sound or आ (ā) when attached to consonants such as ड़ (ḍa). This character's precise usage and importance are rooted in both cultural and technical contexts, demonstrating the depth of the Devanagari script's influence on Indian languages.
