Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴈ has the Unicode code point U+2D08. 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+2D08 to binary:
00101101 00001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The character U+2D08, known as the Georgian Small Letter In (Ḳ), is a significant element within the Georgian script. As one of 38 unique letters, it plays an essential role in digitally representing the Georgia language, which primarily resides within the region of Georgia and is also spoken by various diaspora communities around the world. The Georgian alphabet, which has been in existence for more than a millennium, is written from left to right and includes its own unique system of using letters for numerals. U+2D08 specifically represents a voiceless postalveolar fricative sound and holds significant cultural and linguistic importance within the Georgian language. Its accurate representation in digital text facilitates communication among Georgia-speaking communities and ensures the preservation of this ancient language.
