Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॉ has the Unicode code point U+0949. 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+0949 to binary:
00001001 01001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+0949 represents the Devanagari Vowel Sign Candrabindu (चन्द्रबिंदु). It is primarily used in digital texts written in the Devanagari script, which is predominantly employed for writing the Hindi language. The Devanagari script also serves as a base for other languages such as Marathi, Nepali, Sanskrit, and several tribal dialects of India. The Devanagari Vowel Sign Candrabindu (चन्द्रबिंदु) is a diacritic used to modify the pronunciation or meaning of other characters in the script. It specifically denotes the presence of the vowel sound 'o' when placed above or below another character. The term "Candrabindu" derives from Sanskrit, with "candra" meaning "moon" and "bindu" meaning "point" or "dot." In digital texts, the Candrabindu is used in combination with consonants to create syllables and words. This character's usage ensures accurate representation of spoken language in written form, contributing to the clarity and intelligibility of communication. The Devanagari script, including characters like the Vowel Sign Candrabindu, holds cultural significance as it is deeply rooted in Indian history and tradition. It has been used for centuries to write various forms of literature, religious texts, and scholarly works in India and neighboring countries. The widespread adoption of Unicode standards ensures the proper rendering and compatibility of Devanagari text across different digital platforms and devices, facilitating access to this rich cultural heritage for a global audience.
