Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ઼ has the Unicode code point U+0ABC. 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+0ABC to binary:
00001010 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+0ABC, or Gujarati Sign Nukta, is a crucial character in the digital representation of the Gujarati script. In this script, it plays a pivotal role as an initial consonant marker. The Nukta is typically used to precede certain consonants, acting as a distinct indicator for their pronunciation and meaning when they appear at the beginning of a word. This character is crucial in Gujarati typography for maintaining linguistic accuracy and clarity in written communication. It has a significant cultural and linguistic importance, contributing to the rich heritage of the Gujarati language, which is predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat and by the Gujarati diaspora globally. In digital text encoding, U+0ABC ensures accurate representation and preservation of the nuances inherent in the Gujarati script, thereby supporting the ongoing documentation and transmission of this valuable linguistic resource.
