Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴂ has the Unicode code point U+2D02. 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+2D02 to binary:
00101101 00000010
. 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 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+2D02, also known as the Georgian Small Letter Gan (ḃ), is an essential component of the Georgian script used in the Kartvelian language family. It primarily serves as a letter in the alphabet and plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Georgian language on computers and electronic devices. The Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century, is unique for its vertical orientation and the use of distinctive cursive strokes. U+2D02's inclusion in the Unicode Standard (Version 3.1) has significantly facilitated international communication by ensuring correct rendering and encoding of Georgian text across various platforms and applications.
