Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ჟ has the Unicode code point U+1C9F. 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+1C9F to binary:
00011100 10011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+1C9F, also known as the Georgian Mtavruli Capital Letter Zhar, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent a distinct letter in the ancient Georgian script called Mtavruli. This script dates back to the 5th century and was primarily used for religious texts before being gradually replaced by the more modern Georgian script, Mkhedruli, in the late 19th century. The Mtavruli script, which consists of 38 letters, is characterized by its elegant circular forms and is considered an important part of Georgia's rich cultural heritage. In digital text, U+1C9F serves to accurately represent this unique letter when displaying or encoding Georgian text in the Mtavruli script, ensuring that the historical linguistic and cultural context is preserved.
