Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴘ has the Unicode code point U+10B8. 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+10B8 to binary:
00010000 10111000. 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 10111000

Description
The character U+10B8, known as the Georgian Capital Letter Shin (᷈), is a crucial element of the Mkhedruli script, which represents the modern form of the Georgian alphabet. This script has been in use since the 13th century and comprises 33 letters. U+10B8 specifically denotes the initial consonant shin (შ), characterized by its distinct, upward-sloping shape. The letter holds a significant role in digital text processing systems, particularly those dealing with Georgian language content. It's crucial to remember that while the character is part of the Unicode Standard, which provides a unique code for every character from every writing system worldwide, this does not dilute its importance in Georgian culture and linguistics. The Georgian script itself has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage item due to its historical, cultural, and intellectual significance, further emphasizing the importance of U+10B8 in digital text processing systems dealing with Georgian language content.
