Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ઇ has the Unicode code point U+0A87. 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+0A87 to binary:
00001010 10000111. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+0A87 represents the Gujarati letter 'I' (GUJARATI LETTER I). In digital text, it plays a significant role in enabling the representation of the Gujarati language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat and by the Gujarati diaspora. This script belongs to the Indic family of scripts, and it follows an abugida system where each character represents a consonant with inherent vowel sounds. U+0A87 is typically used in text editing, word processing, and other digital communication platforms that support Gujarati script. The use of this character contributes to the preservation and promotion of Gujarati culture, literature, and linguistic heritage in the era of globalization and digitization.
