Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ੪ has the Unicode code point U+0A6A. 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+0A6A to binary:
00001010 01101010. 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 10101001 10101010

Description
The character U+0A6A, known as Gurmukhi Digit Four, plays a significant role within the Gurmukhi script system. This specific Unicode character is primarily used in digital text representation of the Gurmukhi numeral system. Gurmukhi, which translates to "from the Lord's mouth" in Sikh tradition, is the primary script used for writing the Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture of the Sikh religion, and other Punjabi literature. The Gurmukhi numeral system, with U+0A6A representing the digit four, allows for the precise notation of numbers in this particular script. This is crucial for accurate text representation and transcription, particularly when dealing with religious texts or historical documents written in the Gurmukhi script.
