Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+1777. 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+1777 to binary:
00010111 01110111. 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:
11100001 10011101 10110111

Description
U+1777 is a Unicode character code that represents the "⛭" symbol, known as the Daggar or Anusvara. This typographic symbol holds significant importance in various linguistic and cultural contexts. Primarily used in the Devanagari script, the Daggar (also called "Anusvara") is employed as a grammatical indicator. It signifies that the consonant it follows should be pronounced with an 'a' sound at the end. The Daggar symbol has a unique role in the Devanagari script, where it helps maintain the phonetic accuracy of words by influencing pronunciation. This character plays a crucial role in maintaining linguistic integrity and clarity in languages like Sanskrit, Hindi, Marathi, and other Indian languages that use the Devanagari script.
