Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴖ has the Unicode code point U+2D16. 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+2D16 to binary:
00101101 00010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+2D16 is a Unicode character that represents the Georgian small letter GHAN (Ḱ). This character plays a significant role in digital text representation for the Georgian language, which belongs to the Kartvelian language family. The Georgian script is unique as it uses a mixed abugida system, where consonants carry inherent vowel sounds. Consequently, the use of U+2D16 in a word would also imply the presence of an inherent 'a' sound. In this context, the character contributes to the accurate and meaningful representation of the Georgian language in digital media, enabling effective communication among speakers of this linguistic community.
