Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ़ has the Unicode code point U+093C. 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+093C to binary:
00001001 00111100. 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 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+093C, Devanagari Sign Nukta, is a vital element in the Devanagari script system. Devanagari is the official script for several languages, including Hindi, Marathi, and Nepali, among others. In digital text, the Nukta character serves as an indicator for vowel sounds in these languages. Specifically, it marks a short vowel 'a' in syllables. This allows users of Devanagari script to accurately represent pronunciation and maintain linguistic integrity in written communication. The Nukta is crucial in digital text because the Devanagari script does not contain separate letters for all vowels; instead, it uses a system of consonants with attached signs for vowels. In this way, U+093C plays an essential role in preserving the unique linguistic characteristics and cultural heritage of languages that use the Devanagari script.
