Description

U+10A8 is a specific Unicode character code that represents the Georgian Capital Letter In (Ⴒ). This letter is used in the Georgian alphabet, which is written from left to right and consists of 33 letters, making it a unique and distinct system for encoding information. The Georgian script is of great cultural significance in Georgia, where it has been used since the 5th century AD. Its typography and character set are based on the Mkhedruli script, which is the most widely used version today. In digital text, U+10A8 serves a crucial role as it helps maintain the accuracy and authenticity of the Georgian language in various platforms such as websites, documents, and software applications. It enables users to communicate efficiently and precisely in their native language online, which is essential for preserving linguistic identity and cultural heritage in an increasingly globalized digital world. Furthermore, its encoding in Unicode allows it to be universally recognized by computer systems, ensuring interoperability across different platforms and devices. The Georgian Capital Letter In (Ⴒ) is of particular importance due to its unique shape and position within the script. It represents a specific phoneme and helps convey meaning in the Georgian language, which has no direct equivalent in the Latin or Cyrillic alphabets commonly used in other languages. This distinctiveness highlights the rich linguistic diversity that exists around the world and underscores the importance of preserving and supporting lesser-known scripts and languages in digital spaces.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4264 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+10A8. 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+10A8 to binary: 00010000 10101000. 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 10101000
