Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ઍ has the Unicode code point U+0A8D. 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+0A8D to binary:
00001010 10001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+0A8D, Gujarati Vowel CandrA E, holds a crucial role in the representation of the Gujarati script, an Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat. In digital text, it serves as a diacritical mark that modifies the phonetic and semantic properties of adjacent consonants. This character, along with other vowel candras (U+0A8D to U+0A92), ensures accurate pronunciation and comprehension of Gujarati words when written using digital text encoding systems such as Unicode. The Gujarati script is part of the broader Brahmi family of scripts, which encompasses several South Asian languages.
