Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ઊ has the Unicode code point U+0A8A. 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+0A8A to binary:
00001010 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+0A8A, known as Gujarati Letter UU, plays a crucial role in the Gujarati script, which is part of the Indic family of scripts. This character is predominantly used in digital text, particularly for communication and documentation purposes in the Gujarati language. Gujarat, a state in India, uses this script extensively, making it an essential element in their cultural and linguistic identity. The Gujarati script, like other Indic scripts, is derived from the Brahmi script, which has its roots in ancient South Asia. As a result, U+0A8A contributes to the rich heritage of the Gujarati language and its written form. It is important to note that accuracy and cultural sensitivity are paramount when working with typography in non-Latin scripts like Gujarati, as incorrect rendering or misuse of characters can lead to miscommunication and loss of cultural meaning.
