Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ძ has the Unicode code point U+1CAB. 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+1CAB to binary:
00011100 10101011
. 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 10101011

Description
U+1CAB, known as the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Jil, is a typographical character used in the Georgian script, which was developed around the 5th century AD. It plays an integral role in digital text by representing the consonant /j/ in the ancient and historic Georgian language. The Mtavruli script itself is notable for its cultural, linguistic, and technical significance as it remains one of the few indigenous scripts that have survived from classical antiquity. In digital text, U+1CAB serves to preserve the unique phonetic and morphological characteristics of the Georgian language, enabling accurate communication in the modern era. Its presence in digital text aids in maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural heritage in the context of global digital communication.
