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.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11548 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character 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 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+2D1C to binary: 00101101 00011100. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
