Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ჲ has the Unicode code point U+1CB2. 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+1CB2 to binary:
00011100 10110010
. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+1CB2, known as the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Hie, is a significant symbol within the Georgian script, which has been in use since the 5th century AD. As part of the Mtavruli script family, this capital letter represents an important element of Georgia's rich cultural heritage and linguistic identity. U+1CB2 is primarily used in digital texts to represent the consonant sound /h/ within the Georgian language, which is an agglutinative and fusional language spoken by millions of people in the Caucasus region. The Mtavruli script was the earliest form of the Georgian alphabet and holds great historical significance as it showcases the evolution of Georgia's written tradition. Today, U+1CB2 plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting the unique cultural heritage of Georgia by facilitating accurate digital communication and representation within the Georgian language and its related documents.
