Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character અ has the Unicode code point U+0A85. 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+0A85 to binary:
00001010 10000101. 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 10101010 10000101

Description
The Gujarati letter A, represented by the Unicode character U+0A85, holds a significant position in the Gujarati script. In digital text, it is used to represent the consonant 'A' in the Gujarati language, which is spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Gujarat and the surrounding regions. Gujarati is part of the Indo-Aryan family of languages and uses the Gujarati script, which is an abugida system, where each character represents a consonant along with an inherent vowel. The U+0A85 character is essential for accurate representation of text in the Gujarati language, enabling seamless communication among native speakers, researchers, and those learning the language. Its usage contributes to preserving and promoting the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the Gujarat region.
