Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ि has the Unicode code point U+093F. 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+093F to binary:
00001001 00111111. 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 10111111

Description
U+093F Devanagari Vowel Sign 'I' is a crucial component of the Devanagari script, widely used in digital text for representing the 'i' vowel sound in several Indian languages such as Hindi, Marathi, Nepali, and Sanskrit. As an essential element of this abugida writing system, U+093F is placed below or above a consonant to form a syllable, with the vowel modifying the inherent sound of the base consonant. In digital text, it facilitates precise and accurate communication in these languages by ensuring proper representation and pronunciation of words. The Devanagari script is deeply rooted in Indian culture and history, reflecting the rich linguistic diversity of the region.
