Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॏ has the Unicode code point U+094F. 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+094F to binary:
00001001 01001111. 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 10100101 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+094F is known as the Devanagari Vowel Sign 'A'. In the digital text world, this character plays a crucial role in the Devanagari script, which is predominantly used for writing in Hindi and several other languages like Sanskrit, Marathi, Nepali, and others. Devanagari script is the most widely used script in India. The Devanagari Vowel Sign 'A' is one of 14 primary vowels in this script system. Its position within a text string defines the phonetic pronunciation of consonants. This character helps to transform a consonant into a syllable by marking it with a particular vowel sound. Therefore, it plays an essential part in the accurate interpretation and communication of linguistic content in these languages. This Unicode character holds immense importance in various cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts. It helps maintain the accuracy of translation services, text-to-speech software, and other language processing tools that rely on precise script recognition. Its correct usage is indispensable for preserving the integrity of the Devanagari language in digital environments.
