Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Რ has the Unicode code point U+1CA0. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+1CA0 to binary:
00011100 10100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+1CA0, the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Rae, holds a significant position in digital text as part of the Georgian script, which is included in Unicode for comprehensive typographical representation. This character specifically represents the "R" sound, just like its English counterpart. However, the Georgian script differs substantially from the Latin-based alphabets typically used in Western languages. U+1CA0 plays a crucial role in digitizing and encoding traditional Georgian texts into a standardized format that can be processed by computers and shared globally. As a result, this Unicode character enables communication across cultural and linguistic boundaries and contributes to the preservation of the rich heritage of the Georgian language.
