Description

U+10A1, the Georgian Capital Letter Ban, is a crucial component of the Georgian script, which is used to represent the Kartvelian language family in Georgia. This specific character plays an essential role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of the Georgian language. The Georgian script is unique for its cursive style and the presence of three different alphabets that have evolved historically: Mkhedruli, Asomtavruli, and Nuskhuri. While Mkhedruli is the most widely used modern form, Asomtavruli is considered the first Georgian script and has a rich cultural significance. In terms of technical context, U+10A1 contributes to the standardization of the Georgian language in digital environments, facilitating accurate information exchange and fostering global understanding.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4257 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+10A1. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+10A1 to binary: 00010000 10100001. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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:
    11100001 10000010 10100001
