Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0AD2. 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+0AD2 to binary:
00001010 11010010
. 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 10101011 10010010

Description
U+0AD2 is a Unicode character that represents the character ढ in Devanagari script. Devanagari is primarily used for writing two major languages, Hindi and Marathi, and several other Indian languages. This character is typically used as a letter in digital text, particularly in the context of these languages. In Hindi, this character (लड़का) represents the consonant-vowel sequence 'ढ', which translates to the English pronunciation "ḍ". It has no special cultural or linguistic significance beyond its role as a standard letter within these scripts. The accurate representation of such characters is essential for maintaining the integrity of texts written in these languages, and Unicode plays a crucial role in facilitating this by providing a consistent encoding system for digital text.
