Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ॣ has the Unicode code point U+0963. 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+0963 to binary:
00001001 01100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+0963 is the Unicode code point for Devanagari Vowel Sign Vocalic LL (ड़), a unique character used in digital text primarily within the Devanagari script, which is used to write several Indian languages including Hindi, Marathi, Sanskrit, and Nepali. This character is specifically a vowel sign that indicates a "vocalic" sound, meaning it denotes a specific set of phonetic properties that are unique to the Devanagari script. The "LL" in its name refers to the fact that it has two parallel horizontal lines or strokes, which differentiates it from other vowel signs in the same script. In typography, this character is used in combination with consonants to form words and sentences in these languages, where it helps define their pronunciation and intonation. It's notable for its cultural significance as the Devanagari script has been adopted not just for local Indian languages but also for international use in writing Sanskrit, which has a global impact on philosophical, religious, and historical discourse.
