Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ੬ has the Unicode code point U+0A6C. 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+0A6C to binary:
00001010 01101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+0A6C represents the Gurmukhi digit six (੬) in digital text. In the Gurmukhi script, which is primarily used for writing the Punjabi language, this numeral serves as a crucial component for expressing numerical values and quantities in written form. The Gurmukhi script holds significant cultural importance, as it was developed by Guru Angad Dev Ji, the second Sikh master, in the early 16th century. Its distinct features, such as the use of vertical strokes and looped forms, set it apart from other Indic scripts. The Gurmukhi digit six is used widely in various digital text applications, including word processors, web content, and mobile devices that support the Punjabi language.
