Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ჱ has the Unicode code point U+1CB1. 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+1CB1 to binary:
00011100 10110001
. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1CB1 represents the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter He (Ჷ). This character is used in digital text to represent the 16th letter of the Georgian alphabet, known as 'He' or 'H'. In the Georgian script, each letter has a unique visual form and phonetic value. The Mtavruli script, which includes this character, is one of three ancient Georgian scripts - the others being Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri. U+1CB1 has significant cultural and linguistic importance as it serves as a key element in preserving and promoting the rich history and heritage of the Georgian language, which dates back over 3,000 years. The Mtavruli script was created during the period when Georgia was under the rule of the Sassanid Empire, and it is considered to be one of the first examples of a full-fledged alphabetic system in the world. This character, as well as the rest of the Mtavruli script, is used in digital communication, typography, and publishing to accurately represent the Georgian language, promoting its continued use and preservation for future generations.
