Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ऻ has the Unicode code point U+093B. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+093B to binary:
00001001 00111011
. 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 10111011

Description
The character U+093B, Devanagari Vowel Sign OOE, plays a pivotal role in the Devanagari script, which is primarily used to write the Hindi language and several other Indian languages. In digital text, this vowel sign serves as a diacritical mark that is attached above or below certain consonants to denote specific vowel sounds. Its primary function is to indicate the "OOE" sound, which consists of two vowels: "O", "U", and "E". The Devanagari script is deeply rooted in Indian culture, and U+093B is an essential component in accurately representing words and phrases within this writing system. As digital communication and globalization continue to expand, accurate representation of diverse scripts like Devanagari becomes increasingly important for preserving linguistic identity and cultural heritage.
