The Georgian alphabet, from which this character is derived, belongs to the Kartvelian language family and has been used since antiquity. U+1CAA is part of the Unicode standard (Unicode 3.2), a coding system that assigns unique numeric codes to each character of every written language on Earth. In digital text, U+1CAA serves as an essential component for accurately representing and encoding the Georgian language in computer systems, software applications, and websites. The Georgian script is known for its uniqueness and complexity, characterized by its cursive style and 38 letters. The MTAVRULI letter has cultural and linguistic significance in Georgia, as it plays a crucial role in the written representation of the Georgian language. It also holds technical importance due to its inclusion in Unicode, which enables seamless communication between different languages on digital platforms, fostering cross-cultural understanding and exchange.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7338 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+1CAA. 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+1CAA to binary: 00011100 10101010. 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 10110010 10101010
