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
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+139C to binary:
00010011 10011100
. 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 10001110 10011100

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.
