Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ੭ has the Unicode code point U+0A6D. 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+0A6D to binary:
00001010 01101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+0A6D is a Unicode character representing the Gurmukhi digit seven (੭). This numeral plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the Punjabi language and Sikh culture. The Punjabi language, spoken by millions of people across India, Pakistan, and other countries with Punjabi-speaking populations, uses the Gurmukhi script as its primary form of written communication. Developed in the early 16th century, Gurmukhi is the script used to write the sacred Sikh texts, including Guru Granth Sahib, which serves as the religious text and spiritual guide for followers of Sikhism. The inclusion of U+0A6D in digital text ensures that this rich cultural heritage is accurately represented on modern devices and platforms, contributing to a better understanding and appreciation of these linguistic and cultural traditions.
