Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ੲ has the Unicode code point U+0A72. 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+0A72 to binary:
00001010 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+0A72, also known as GURMUKHI IRI, plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Gurmukhi script, which is primarily used for writing the Punjabi language. This character is an essential component in enabling accurate and meaningful communication within the Punjabi-speaking community across various digital platforms. The Gurmukhi script has its origins in the 15th century when the first Guru of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, introduced it as a means to spread his message. It is also widely used for religious texts and literature in Punjabi, making U+0A72 an integral part of preserving and promoting cultural heritage. In recent years, with the growth of digital communication and the increasing use of Unicode-supported devices, characters like GURMUKHI IRI have become indispensable in ensuring accurate representation and understanding of text in the Punjabi language across the globe.
