Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴔ has the Unicode code point U+10B4. 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+10B4 to binary:
00010000 10110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+10B4 represents the Georgian capital letter Phar (Ⴔ). In its typical usage, this letter is used in digital text for typographical purposes, such as in documents, websites, and applications that support the Georgian language, which is spoken by millions of people primarily in the country of Georgia. The Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century AD, belongs to the Kartvelian language family and is unique among world scripts for its use of a mixed directional system, where letters can be written either left-to-right or right-to-left depending on their position in a word. As an important part of this distinct script, the Phar character plays a vital role in maintaining cultural heritage and linguistic continuity within the Georgian-speaking community.
