Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴢ has the Unicode code point U+10C2. 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+10C2 to binary:
00010000 11000010
. 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 10000010

Description
U+10C2 is a Unicode character representing the Georgian Capital Letter HIE (ᲂ). It plays a significant role in digital text as part of the Georgian script, which belongs to the Kartvelian language family. The Georgian script, developed between the 4th and 5th centuries AD, is unique due to its use of vertical strokes. U+10C2 specifically represents a consonant with an ejective release in the Georgian alphabet, which consists of 38 letters, making it useful for accurate representation of the Georgian language digitally. As part of the Georgian script, U+10C2 holds cultural and linguistic importance as it contributes to the preservation and advancement of this ancient writing system in digital communications and publishing.
