Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ც 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
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+1CAA to binary:
00011100 10101010
. 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 10110010 10101010

Description
U+1CAA is a Georgian script character representing the uppercase letter "MTAVRULI." 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.
