Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ੯ has the Unicode code point U+0A6F. 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+0A6F to binary:
00001010 01101111. 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 10101111

Description
The character U+0A6F represents Gurmukhi Digit Nine (੯) in the Unicode Standard, a widely used encoding system for digital text. This numeral holds significant importance in the Punjabi language and its various dialects, such as Gurmukhi script, which is predominantly used by Sikh communities worldwide. The digit forms part of the larger set of Gurmukhi digits (0-9), which are essential for expressing numerical values in written communication. Gurmukhi script, developed during the early 16th century, is deeply rooted in Punjabi culture and serves as a vital medium for religious texts, literature, and daily communication among speakers of the language. The accurate representation of this character in digital systems ensures the preservation and accessibility of cultural heritage and linguistic expression within the Punjabi-speaking community.
