Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ვ has the Unicode code point U+1C95. 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+1C95 to binary:
00011100 10010101
. 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 10010101

Description
The character U+1C95, known as the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Vin, holds a significant position in the realm of typography and digital text. As part of the Georgian script, it represents one of 38 letters used to write the Georgian language, which is primarily spoken in Georgia and has a rich history dating back to the 5th century AD. The Mtavruli script, from which this character originates, is one of three classical Georgian scripts - the others being Asomtavruli and Nuskhuri. In digital text contexts, the U+1C95 serves as a vital component in the accurate representation and preservation of the Georgian language's linguistic heritage. Its usage reflects the growing need for diverse character sets that encompass lesser-known languages and scripts, thus fostering cultural inclusivity and communication across borders. The character plays a crucial role in digital text applications such as web development, software localization, and document translation.
