Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ⴅ has the Unicode code point U+10A5. 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+10A5 to binary:
00010000 10100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+10A5 represents the Georgian Capital Letter Vin (Ⴕ). This letter is a part of the Mkhedruli script, which forms the basis for modern written Georgian. In digital text, it serves as an essential component for transcribing and translating texts from and into the Georgian language. The Georgian script, in general, has a rich cultural history dating back to at least the 5th century, reflecting the linguistic heritage of the region. U+10A5 plays a crucial role in maintaining this heritage by facilitating accurate representation and communication in digital spaces. As more languages and scripts are incorporated into the Unicode Standard, characters like U+10A5 contribute to the preservation and promotion of diverse linguistic and cultural identities around the world.
