Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Მ has the Unicode code point U+1C9B. 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+1C9B to binary:
00011100 10011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+1C9B, known as the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Man (Ⴅ), holds significant importance in the realm of digital typography. It is primarily used within the context of the Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century AD and is one of the oldest extant writing systems in Europe. The Georgian Mtavruli script, from which this character originates, was predominantly employed for religious texts and inscriptions during the pre-classical and classical periods of Georgian literature. In digital text, U+1C9B serves as a crucial element in representing and preserving Georgia's linguistic and cultural heritage. Its utilization is particularly prominent in electronic documents, websites, and applications that aim to showcase or support Georgian language content, while maintaining accuracy and authenticity in representation.
