Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴍ has the Unicode code point U+2D0D. 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+2D0D to binary:
00101101 00001101
. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+2D0D, known as GEORGIAN SMALL LETTER ON (Ḑ), is a letter from the Georgian alphabet, which is primarily used in the languages of Georgia, Mingrelia, and Svanetia. In digital text, this character serves its role as an integral component of written communication in these regions, facilitating the representation of unique phonetic sounds not found in the Roman or Cyrillic alphabets. It belongs to the Georgian script, which is one of the two indigenous writing systems of Georgia and a member of the Kartvelian language family. This script dates back to the 5th century AD and features its own unique set of rules, symbols, and characteristics that are distinct from those of other widely-used scripts. Consequently, U+2D0D holds significant cultural and linguistic importance in the Georgian-speaking communities and plays a crucial role in preserving their literary heritage.
