Description

The Unicode character U+2D20, known as the Georgian Small Letter Hae (Ḃ), plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Georgian script. This script is primarily used to transcribe the Kartvelian language, which is spoken by approximately 4 million people, mainly in Georgia and other countries with Georgian diaspora communities. The character U+2D20 is an essential component of this alphabet, consisting of 33 letters. In typography, each letter in the Georgian script has a corresponding uppercase version, which is formed by placing the lowercase letter inside a circle. As such, its uppercase counterpart is referred to as Georgian Capital Letter Hae (Ḡ). This unique characteristic of the Georgian script distinguishes it from other scripts and adds to its cultural significance.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 11552 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+2D20. 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+2D20 to binary: 00101101 00100000. 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:
    11100010 10110100 10100000
