Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴂ has the Unicode code point U+10A2. 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+10A2 to binary:
00010000 10100010. 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:
11100001 10000010 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+10A2 is known as the Georgian Capital Letter Gan (Ⴀ). This character is a part of the Georgian script, which is utilized in the written language of Georgia, a country located at the crossroads of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. In digital text, U+10A2 serves an important role by representing the initial consonant in various words within the Georgian language. The Georgian script is unique for its use of an abugida writing system, where each letter has an inherent vowel sound, which can be modified by diacritics. As such, U+10A2 plays a crucial part in the accurate representation and communication of the Georgian language through written form. The Georgian script is not only culturally significant for Georgia but also holds linguistic importance as it belongs to the Kartvelian language family, which includes Georgian, Mingrelian, Svan, and Laz languages.
