Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ો has the Unicode code point U+0ACB. 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+0ACB to binary:
00001010 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+0ACB represents the Gujarati vowel sign "O," which is a phonetic symbol in the Indo-Aryan language family. In digital text, it is primarily used to denote long 'o' sound, serving as an essential element in spelling and pronunciation of words within the Gujarati script. The Gujarati script itself belongs to the Brahmi family of scripts, which originated in ancient India. U+0ACB's role in this script is vital as it helps maintain linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity when translating or transcribing text between the Devanagari, Gurmukhi, or Bengali scripts, which also use vowel marks similar to Gujarati. In a technical context, U+0ACB allows for accurate representation of spoken Gujarati in digital environments, contributing to effective communication and preservation of this rich linguistic heritage.
