Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴗ has the Unicode code point U+2D17. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+2D17 to binary:
00101101 00010111. 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 10010111

Description
The Unicode character U+2D17, known as the Georgian Small Letter Qar, holds a significant position in the realm of digital text. It belongs to the Georgian script, which was developed in the 5th century AD and is primarily used for writing the Kartvelian languages like Meadow Languages, Svan Language, and most notably, Georgian Language. The Georgian script is a unique abugida system, where each letter represents both a consonant and an inherent vowel /a/. U+2D17 is often utilized to represent the sound "q" followed by an inherent /a/ vowel in the Georgian alphabet. Its usage allows for the precise representation of complex phonetic properties that are intrinsic to the Georgian language, contributing to its rich cultural and linguistic heritage. The technical context of U+2D17 is particularly important for those working with digital text encoding or translation services, as it ensures accuracy in representing the specific sounds and nuances found in Georgian-language texts.
