Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ૢ has the Unicode code point U+0AE2. 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+0AE2 to binary:
00001010 11100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+0AE2 is a Gujarati vowel sign representing the vocalic L sound. It is commonly used in digital text to represent this specific phonetic feature in the Gujarati language, which is spoken by millions of people primarily in the Indian state of Gujarat and among the global Indian diaspora. This character plays a crucial role in accurately conveying the pronunciation and meaning of words within Gujarati literature, educational materials, and other texts. As with many vowel signs in various scripts, it is essential for maintaining the integrity and readability of written Gujarati language, contributing to its rich cultural and linguistic heritage.
