Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ૌ has the Unicode code point U+0ACC. 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+0ACC to binary:
00001010 11001100
. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+0ACC, known as Gujarati Vowel Sign AU, is a crucial element in the Gujarati script. Its primary role is to represent the long 'a' sound in digital text, making it vital for accurate representation and comprehension of Gujarati language content. As one of the 14 vowel signs in the Gujarati script, U+0ACC plays a significant part in the nuanced phonetics and pronunciation of this Indo-Aryan language predominantly spoken in the Indian state of Gujarat and its diaspora around the world. The character is an essential tool for typographers and digital text creators aiming to maintain cultural and linguistic authenticity in their work. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that Gujarati texts can be accurately encoded, displayed, and transmitted across various digital platforms and technologies, thereby facilitating effective communication among the Gujarati-speaking community.
