Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴉ has the Unicode code point U+10A9. 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+10A9 to binary:
00010000 10101001. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+10A9, known as the Georgian Capital Letter Kan (Ⴄ), plays a crucial role in digital text representation of the Georgian script. This alphabet is part of the Kartvelian language family, which predominantly includes Georgian, Mingrelian, Svan, and Laz languages. As a capital letter, Ⴄ is primarily used at the beginning of words or sentences to denote proper nouns or form capitalized words. The Georgian script is unique in that each letter has three forms: an independent word-initial form, an isolated form, and a medial form. The character U+10A9 contributes to preserving the cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Georgia people by enabling accurate digital representation of their language.
