Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴐ has the Unicode code point U+10B0. 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+10B0 to binary:
00010000 10110000
. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+10B0, or GEORGIAN CAPITAL LETTER RAE, plays a vital role in digital text as part of the Georgian script, which is primarily used for writing the Kartvelian language group, predominantly in Georgia and among Georgian diaspora. This alphabet is unique in that it does not share any similarity with Latin or Greek scripts; rather, it consists of 38 letters and employs a cursive style. In digital text, U+10B0 (GEORGIAN CAPITAL LETTER RAE) serves as the uppercase version of the Georgian letter ra or re. The character is widely used in various applications that support the Georgian language, including word processing software and websites. It's important to note that the Georgian script has a rich history dating back to the 5th century, with the oldest extant inscription, Kutaisi Inscription, found on the walls of the Bagineti Church in 2016. This discovery expanded our understanding of the script's development and contributed to its inclusion in Unicode Standard, which allows for seamless communication and collaboration among people who speak or write in the Georgian language.
