Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴜ has the Unicode code point U+2D1C. 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+2D1C to binary:
00101101 00011100
. 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 10011100

Description
U+2D1C is a Unicode character representing the Georgian Small Letter Cil (Ⴒ). This character holds significant importance in digital text due to its usage within the Georgian script, which is primarily used for the Kartvelian language family, notably in Georgia and other regions with historical cultural connections. The Georgian script, known for its unique design featuring three horizontal strokes, consists of 38 letters, both uppercase and lowercase, and U+2D1C serves as the lowercase form of the letter Cil. In digital text, U+2D1C is used to represent the phoneme /t͡ɕʼ/ in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA) transcription system, providing a precise representation of the sound that the Georgian Small Letter Cil represents. As such, this character plays a crucial role in accurately transcribing and translating texts between languages and scripts, ensuring linguistic accuracy and cultural preservation.
