Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ჶ has the Unicode code point U+1CB6. 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+1CB6 to binary:
00011100 10110110
. 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 10110110

Description
The Unicode character U+1CB6 represents the Georgian script's capital letter "FI". It is a vital component of the Georgian script, which is used to transcribe the Georgian language, the official language of Georgia in the Caucasus region. In digital text, U+1CB6 is employed as part of an encoding system that allows for accurate and precise representation of the written form of the Georgian language on electronic devices and platforms. The character carries significant cultural and linguistic significance, being one of the 38 letters in the Georgian alphabet that originated around the 5th century AD. While U+1CB6 may not hold prominence in international contexts, it remains essential for those working with or studying the Georgian language, literature, and history, as well as developers tasked with supporting multilingual digital platforms.
