Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴗ has the Unicode code point U+10B7. 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+10B7 to binary:
00010000 10110111
. 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 10110111

Description
U+10B7, the Georgian Capital Letter Qar, is a typographical character in the Unicode standard that represents a distinct letter in the Georgian script. As part of the Mkhedruli (Modern) Georgian alphabet, it plays an essential role in encoding digital text for the Georgian language, which is primarily spoken in Georgia and its surrounding regions. The Georgian script, developed in the 5th century AD, is known for its unique design, with each letter representing a combination of strokes that distinguish it from other scripts. U+10B7 specifically represents the sound 'q' or 'qʰ', depending on the phonetic context within words. It is used to convey linguistic nuances specific to the Georgian language and allows for accurate digital representation of written text in this unique writing system.
