Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ૺ has the Unicode code point U+0AFA. 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+0AFA to binary:
00001010 11111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Gujarati Sign Sukun (U+0AFA) is an essential character in the Gujarati script, a member of the Indic family of scripts, which are used to write various languages in the Indian subcontinent. In digital text, this character serves as a crucial punctuation mark and fulfills the role of an omission sign or an elongated space that is employed at the end of words to indicate a pause similar to the English comma or full stop. It is particularly used while typing in Gujarati on mobile phones and other devices with Gujarati keyboards, ensuring accurate and proper representation of the language. The Gujarati script, of which U+0AFA is an integral part, has historical and cultural significance as it has been used for centuries to record Gujarati literature, religious texts, legal documents, and much more.
