Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ઑ has the Unicode code point U+0A91. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+0A91 to binary:
00001010 10010001
. 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 10010001

Description
U+0A91 Gujarati Vowel Candra O is a unique character in the Unicode Standard used primarily for representing the Gujarat language digitally. In the Gujarat language, which predominantly utilizes the Gujarati script, this character plays an essential role as it represents the vowel sound 'O' when paired with consonants in the script. The Gujarat language is a significant part of the Indo-Aryan branch of the Indo-European languages, primarily spoken in the western state of Gujarat in India and by the Gujarati diaspora worldwide. U+0A91 contributes to maintaining linguistic integrity and facilitates accurate text rendering for digital communication, e-learning, and online publications, thereby preserving cultural heritage and enabling seamless communication among speakers of the language.
