Description

The Unicode character U+2D00, known as the Georgian Small Letter An (ჰ), holds a significant place in the realm of typography, particularly within the Georgian alphabet, which is used to represent the Kartvelian languages spoken by the people of Georgia and some surrounding areas. This script is unique as it does not have uppercase equivalents for its letters, making U+2D00 one of the 38 characters that don't have an upper case counterpart in Georgian typography. The character's digital usage mainly revolves around its function within written text and communication systems that use the Georgian language. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+2D00 is crucial for ensuring accurate and consistent representation across various platforms and software applications that handle the Georgian script. It also plays an important role in linguistic studies, allowing scholars to study and preserve the rich cultural history of the Georgian language.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11520 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+2D00. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2D00 to binary: 00101101 00000000. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
