Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॎ has the Unicode code point U+094E. 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+094E to binary:
00001001 01001110
. 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 10001110

Description
U+094E is the Unicode code point for Devanagari Vowel Sign Prishthamatra E, a character used primarily in digital text to represent vowel sounds in the Devanagari script. Devanagari is the most widely-used script in modern India and Nepal, employed for writing Hindi and several other languages like Marathi, Sanskrit, and Nepali. In the context of the Devanagari script, U+094E serves as a diacritical mark that combines with an underlying consonant to create distinct vowel sounds. This character is essential for accurate representation of the phonetic structure in digital text, thereby facilitating effective communication and cultural preservation. The use of U+094E is significant from both linguistic and technical perspectives, as it ensures correct pronunciation and understanding of words within the Devanagari language system.
