Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴟ has the Unicode code point U+2D1F. 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+2D1F to binary:
00101101 00011111
. 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 10011111

Description
The Georgian script is a unique alphabet system that has been used since the 5th century AD for writing the Kartvelian languages, primarily Georgian. U+2D1F, the Georgian Small Letter Jhan (Უ), holds a significant role in this ancient script. This character belongs to the Unicode Standard, a crucial system for encoding text digitally and enabling worldwide communication and information exchange. In terms of its cultural, linguistic, or technical context, U+2D1F is one of 38 letters used in the Georgian script, which is written from left to right. The Georgian alphabet was designed as a phonetic system, making it easier to learn and use compared to other scripts that convey meaning through symbolic representation. The character U+2D1F or Უ represents the consonant /ʤ/ sound in the Georgian language. This letter holds unique importance due to its distinct shape, which is different from most of the other letters in the Georgian alphabet. It combines elements from different characters and thus appears more complex. However, this complexity has not hindered its usage but rather adds to the richness of the Georgian script. In digital text, U+2D1F can be used independently or as part of a word in any text written in Georgian. Its use is essential for maintaining the integrity and readability of texts in this unique language, ensuring that information remains accessible and understandable to speakers of Georgian. Overall, U+2D1F or Უ serves as an integral component of the Georgian script, contributing to its rich history and cultural significance. Its role within the digital realm underscores the importance of the Unicode Standard in preserving and promoting linguistic diversity across the globe.
