Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ਊ has the Unicode code point U+0A0A. 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+0A0A to binary:
00001010 00001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+0A0A represents the "Gurmukhi Letter UU" (ਪ), which is a letter in the Gurmukhi script used primarily for writing Punjabi, an Indo-Aryan language spoken predominantly in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. In digital text, this character serves its typical role in representing the distinct sound and meaning associated with it in the Gurmukhi script. The Gurmukhi script is historically significant as it was developed by Guru Angad Dev Ji, the second Sikh guru, to promote literacy among his followers. Today, the Gurmukhi script remains vital for religious, cultural, and educational purposes within the Punjabi-speaking community. The character U+0A0A is essential in maintaining the linguistic integrity of the Punjabi language in digital environments, as it ensures accurate representation and preservation of its unique phonetic properties.
