Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ⴒ has the Unicode code point U+2D12. 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+2D12 to binary:
00101101 00010010. 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 10010010

Description
The character U+2D12, known as the Georgian Small Letter Tar, holds a significant role in the Georgian alphabet, serving as one of the 38 letters. It is an integral component of digital text for anyone engaging with the Kartvelian languages, primarily used to transcribe the Georgian language. The Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century AD, is a unique abugida system, where each letter denotes both a consonant and an inherent vowel (usually 'a'). U+2D12 specifically represents the phoneme /t/ followed by the vowel /a/. It's important to note that the Georgian script exhibits a directional writing system, which is written from left to right in vertical columns. In terms of technical context, U+2D12 is encoded within the Unicode Standard, which ensures consistent representation across different platforms and languages, facilitating communication and information exchange globally.
