Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴝ has the Unicode code point U+2D1D. 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+2D1D to binary:
00101101 00011101
. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+2D1D, known as the Georgian Small Letter Char, is a crucial element within the Georgian script used for writing the Georgian language, which is primarily spoken in the country of Georgia, as well as by some communities in neighboring countries. This alphabet, which dates back to the 5th century AD, comprises 38 letters in total and is unique for its distinctive design with a mixture of cursive and angular forms. The Georgian Small Letter Char specifically represents one of these distinct characters and plays a pivotal role in the accurate representation of digital text in the Georgian language. In terms of technical context, it is essential to note that the Unicode Standard encodes this character using a unique code point (U+2D1D) to ensure its proper identification and interpretation across various digital platforms and software applications. Therefore, the Georgian Small Letter Char not only serves as a crucial component in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the Georgian people but also demonstrates the power of Unicode in enabling global communication and understanding through the accurate representation of diverse scripts and languages.
