Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴘ has the Unicode code point U+2D18. 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+2D18 to binary:
00101101 00011000. 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 10011000

Description
The Unicode character U+2D18, known as the Georgian Small Letter Shin (ṡ), is an essential component of the Georgian script, specifically in written forms of the Georgian language. This script has a rich history dating back to the 5th century and remains an important element of the cultural heritage of Georgia, a country located at the intersection of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. U+2D18 is used primarily in digital text to represent the voiceless postalveolar fricative sound represented by "sh" in English. Its inclusion in the Unicode standard ensures that it can be accurately displayed and processed across various digital platforms and devices, allowing for the preservation and continuation of Georgian literature and communication. This character contributes significantly to the representation of the intricate phonetic structure of the Georgian language and reflects the linguistic diversity found within the Unicode Standard, which encompasses over 140,000 characters from countless scripts and languages worldwide.
