Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ਏ has the Unicode code point U+0A0F. 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+0A0F to binary:
00001010 00001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+0A0F, known as GURMUKHI LETTER EE, is a crucial component of the Gurmukhi script, which is predominantly used for writing Punjabi, an Indo-Aryan language spoken by millions across India and Pakistan. In digital text, this character fulfills its typical role as a letter in written communication, enabling users to type, display, and exchange text in the Punjabi language efficiently. The Gurmukhi script is not only used for written literature but also holds significant cultural importance, particularly among Sikh communities, who consider it sacred due to its association with the holy texts of their faith, such as Guru Granth Sahib. Its technical context lies in Unicode's extensive character set, where U+0A0F ensures accurate representation and encoding of the Gurmukhi letter EE on various devices and platforms. Overall, U+0A0F plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Punjabi-speaking communities around the world.
