Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴡ has the Unicode code point U+10C1. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+10C1 to binary:
00010000 11000001
. 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 10000011 10000001

Description
U+10C1 is the Unicode code point for the Georgian Capital Letter He (ᲂ), a character in the Georgian script used primarily for writing the Kartvelian language family, particularly Georgian. This script is an abugida system, which means it derives most of its letters from the ancient Greek alphabet and has some unique features, such as modifying diacritics. The Georgian Capital Letter He specifically represents a phoneme that occurs in the middle and end positions of words in the Georgian language. In digital text, this character is used to represent and preserve the original pronunciation, meaning, and identity of the word it is part of, ensuring accurate representation for any texts transcribed or translated into or from the Georgian language. The character holds a significant role in maintaining linguistic integrity across different digital platforms and mediums.
