Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ू has the Unicode code point U+0942. 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+0942 to binary:
00001001 01000010. 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 10000010

Description
U+0942 is a Devanagari Vowel Sign representing the vowel "UU" in digital text. In the Devanagari script, which is primarily used for writing Hindi and several other Indian languages, vowel signs are combined with consonants to form syllables. The U+0942 character plays a vital role in accurately conveying pronunciation and meaning in these scripts. This particular vowel sign is not widely used due to the rarity of the "UU" combination in Devanagari phonetics, but it remains an essential component for correct representation of specific words and phrases within the script. Its usage highlights the versatility and adaptability of Unicode, which aims to cover all characters from every written language around the world, ensuring effective communication across diverse linguistic and cultural contexts.
