Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ਲ has the Unicode code point U+0A32. 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+0A32 to binary:
00001010 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+0A32 represents the Gurmukhi letter 'La' (ਲ), which is an essential component of the Gurmukhi script. This script is primarily used to write the Punjabi language, which is spoken by millions of people in the Indian states of Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh, Delhi, and other regions with Punjabi-speaking populations. The Gurmukhi script is also employed for writing Sikh religious texts, including the sacred Guru Granth Sahib. In digital text systems, U+0A32 plays a crucial role in enabling accurate representation of the Punjabi language, facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage. As an integral part of the Gurmukhi script, the letter 'La' contributes to the unique aesthetic qualities and phonetic characteristics of the written Punjabi language. The Unicode standard, which includes U+0A32, ensures that the Punjabi language can be consistently encoded, displayed, and transmitted across various digital platforms and devices, thus promoting cultural diversity and inclusivity in global communication.
