Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ਐ has the Unicode code point U+0A10. 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+0A10 to binary:
00001010 00010000. 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 10101000 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+0A10 represents the Gurmukhi letter 'AI'. In the digital world of text encoding, it plays a crucial role in preserving and displaying the Gurmukhi script, which is predominantly used to write the Punjabi language. Gurmukhi script, also known as Guru-Mukh Lee (literally meaning "the mouth through which the Guru speaks"), is an important cultural and religious asset in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. U+0A10, along with other Gurmukhi letters and symbols, enables the accurate representation of the Punjabi language in digital platforms such as websites, mobile apps, and software programs. This character is essential for preserving linguistic heritage, supporting communication among Punjabi speakers, and facilitating access to religious texts and literature in the Gurmukhi script.
