Description

U+139C is a typographical character from the Georgian script, specifically representing the Cyrillic letter "М". The Georgian script, which has been in use since the 5th century AD, belongs to the Kartvelian language family and is a unique abugida system. In digital text, U+139C typically serves as a key component for encoding text in the Georgian language, particularly in transcription or transliteration contexts. Due to its status as an alphabetic character, it plays a crucial role in preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among the Georgian-speaking population across different regions. The use of U+139C reflects the rich history and linguistic complexity of the Georgian script, which has evolved over centuries while maintaining its distinctiveness in the realm of global typography.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 5020 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+139C. 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+139C to binary: 00010011 10011100. 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:
    11100001 10001110 10011100
