Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴁ has the Unicode code point U+2D01. 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+2D01 to binary:
00101101 00000001. 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:
11100010 10110100 10000001

Description
U+2D01, the Georgian Small Letter Ban, is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance for typography enthusiasts and experts in digital text. This specific glyph belongs to the Mingrelian script, a subgroup of the larger Kartvelian language family, which is primarily spoken in the regions of Western Georgia and Abkhazia. The character is used to represent the phonetic sound "b" or "v" in Mingrelian texts, making it an essential component for accurate and authentic digital representation of this lesser-known language. In addition to its role in linguistic expression, U+2D01 has potential cultural and historical significance, as the Georgian script itself is considered one of the oldest scripts in the world, with roots dating back to the 5th century AD. By incorporating this character into digital texts, users can help preserve and promote the unique heritage and linguistic identity of the Mingrelian people.
