Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ჾ has the Unicode code point U+1CBE. 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+1CBE to binary:
00011100 10111110
. 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 10111110

Description
The Unicode character U+1CBE, known as the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Hard Sign, holds a significant position within the realm of typography and digital text. This particular character serves to indicate the hard sign in the Georgian script, which is essential for preserving the accurate pronunciation and meaning of words in the Georgian language. In linguistic and cultural contexts, U+1CBE plays a crucial role in written communication, allowing speakers of the Georgian language to accurately convey their thoughts and ideas in digital text. The Unicode character U+1CBE demonstrates the rich history and intricate structure of the Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century AD. This script is unique due to its Mtavruli style, which employs circle-based shapes for its letters. As a result, U+1CBE and other Unicode characters in the Georgian Mtavruli range contribute to the maintenance of linguistic traditions while also ensuring the compatibility and accessibility of the Georgian language in digital environments.
