Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴠ 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
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+2D20 to binary:
00101101 00100000
. 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 10100000

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.
