Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ा has the Unicode code point U+093E. 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+093E to binary:
00001001 00111110. 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 10111110

Description
U+093E, Devanagari Vowel Sign AA, is a crucial element in the Devanagari script system, which predominantly serves the Hindi language. In digital text, it represents the vowel sound "aa" and is used to modify consonants in various ways, particularly in Sanskrit. The Devanagari script is widely employed for writing several Indian languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, Maithili, and Bhojpuri, among others. Its accurate use contributes significantly to the fluency and comprehensibility of these languages in written form. This character, like others in the Devanagari script, is an indispensable part of typography in Indian languages, reflecting their rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
