Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ऀ has the Unicode code point U+0900. 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+0900 to binary:
00001001 00000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+0900, known as DEVANAGARI SIGN INVERTED CANDRABINDU, plays a vital role in digital text representation of the Devanagari script, primarily used for writing Hindi and several other languages. In the Devanagari writing system, this character serves as an inverted form of the Candrabindu or crescendo mark, denoting elongation or lengthening of a vowel sound. The character is often employed to indicate the nasalization of a vowel and marks the long or nasalized quality of the preceding vowel in the script. This typographical feature is not only significant for accurate digital text representation but also carries important linguistic and cultural connotations in Indian languages that use the Devanagari script. As an essential element of the Devanagari script, U+0900 helps maintain the integrity and authenticity of written works in these languages, promoting effective communication and preserving their rich literary heritage.
