Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴢ has the Unicode code point U+2D22. 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+2D22 to binary:
00101101 00100010
. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+2D22 is known as the Georgian Small Letter Hie. It holds a significant position within the Georgian script, which has been in use since the 5th century AD. In digital text, this particular character serves as one of the alphabetic building blocks for the Georgian language, which is primarily spoken in Georgia and parts of Russia. The Georgian script, from which the Georgian Small Letter Hie derives its meaning, is unique due to its use of a distinct set of symbols that are not based on any other known script. As part of this alphabet, U+2D22 contributes to the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of Georgia. Despite the complexity and uniqueness of the Georgian script, U+2D22 remains an essential element in digital communications and representations of the language.
