Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ્ has the Unicode code point U+0ACD. 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+0ACD to binary:
00001010 11001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Gujarati Sign Virama (U+0ACD) holds a significant position in the Gujarati script. In digital text, it primarily serves as a typographic symbol to indicate a conjunct in Gujarati, which is a Dravidian language spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Gujarat and by the Gujarati people. The Virama sign is employed to separate consonants when two adjacent ones form a single syllable, such as 'Ka' or 'Ch'. It effectively breaks up the continuous sequence of characters, thereby making it easier for both native speakers and learners to comprehend the text. This character plays a vital role in preserving linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity in digital representations of Gujarati script.
