Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ુ has the Unicode code point U+0AC1. 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+0AC1 to binary:
00001010 11000001. 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 10000001

Description
The character U+0AC1, known as the Gujarati Vowel Sign U, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific vowel sound in the Gujarati language. Gujarati is an Indo-Aryan language spoken predominantly in the Indian state of Gujarat and has a rich tradition of literature and cultural expression. The use of this character contributes to the accurate representation of phonetic values in written texts, enabling readers to pronounce words correctly and fostering effective communication. In the realm of typography and digital text, U+0AC1 is crucial for maintaining the integrity of Gujarati script, which has a distinct set of rules for combining characters to form syllables. This character is not only vital in linguistic contexts but also holds technical significance due to its role in encoding Gujarati texts accurately using Unicode standards. By providing precise information about vowel sounds, U+0AC1 helps ensure that digital text preserves the nuances of spoken language and contributes to the rich cultural heritage of the Gujarati-speaking communities.
