Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ზ has the Unicode code point U+1C96. 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+1C96 to binary:
00011100 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+1C96, or the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Zen (Ⴜ), is a distinct character within the Unicode Standard that represents the uppercase form of the Georgian letter Z. In digital text, this character serves as an essential element for accurate and proper representation of the Georgian language, which is primarily spoken in Georgia and the surrounding regions. The Mtavruli script, from which U+1C96 originates, is one of three classical Georgian scripts (the others being Nuskhuri and Asomtavruli) and dates back to the 5th century. This ancient writing system holds significant cultural and linguistic importance for Georgians, as it is deeply rooted in their history and heritage. U+1C96 is a crucial component of modern digital communication, enabling accurate and respectful representation of the rich linguistic traditions and cultural identity of the Georgian people.
