Description

The Unicode character U+10AC, known as the Georgian Capital Letter Nar (ქ), plays a crucial role in the digital representation of the Georgian alphabet. As part of the Georgian script, it is widely used for encoding text in the Kartvelian language family, primarily in the Georgian language. The character's typical usage in digital text is to represent the phoneme /n/, which serves as a consonant in this particular language system. Georgian script is unique due to its origin from the ancient Massogetae tribe, making U+10AC a valuable tool for preserving and fostering cultural heritage through accurate representation in digital text formats.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4268 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+10AC. 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.

    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+10AC to binary: 00010000 10101100. 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 10101100
