Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴌ has the Unicode code point U+2D0C. 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+2D0C to binary:
00101101 00001100
. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+2D0C represents the Georgian Small Letter Nar (ჷ). This unique character is used primarily in the written form of the Georgian language, which is spoken by approximately 3.6 million people, mainly in Georgia and Russia. As part of the Mkhedruli script, developed between the 12th and 15th centuries, U+2D0C is essential to the phonetic representation of words in this ancient writing system. The Georgian alphabet is well-regarded for its simplicity and consistency in structure, with each letter representing a unique sound. In digital text, U+2D0C helps preserve the integrity of the Georgian language by enabling accurate representation and communication within and beyond the native-speaking community. It also contributes to the growing field of linguistic diversity on the internet, as more languages and their respective scripts are included in digital platforms.
