Description

The Unicode character U+1CA1 represents the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter San (Ტ), which is a part of the historical Georgian script called Mtavruli. This script was used in ancient Georgia for both religious and secular texts, primarily in the 5th to 9th centuries AD. The Mtavruli script is known for its distinct and ornate style, which features large, round characters that are visually appealing. In digital text, U+1CA1 serves as a crucial component for preserving and displaying historical Georgian texts accurately. This character holds significant cultural and linguistic importance, as it represents the sound 's' in the Georgian language, and is used to write words with that phoneme. Its usage has waned over time with the shift to the modern Georgian script called Mkhedruli, but U+1CA1 still plays a vital role in maintaining the rich heritage of Georgian language and culture.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7329 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1CA1. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1CA1 to binary: 00011100 10100001. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10100001
