Description

U+10C3 is a Unicode character representing the Georgian Capital Letter We (ᯣ). This character plays a significant role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Georgian script, which is essential for preserving cultural heritage and facilitating communication among speakers of the Georgian language. The Georgian script, which originated in the 5th century AD, has its own unique set of rules and characteristics that distinguish it from other alphabets. U+10C3 specifically represents a consonant in the script, and is used to write words with distinct pronunciation and meaning in the Georgian language. In a broader context, Unicode characters like U+10C3 contribute to the globalization of digital text by allowing accurate representation of non-Latin scripts, which is crucial for communication, research, and preservation of linguistic diversity across different languages and cultures.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4291 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+10C3. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+10C3 to binary: 00010000 11000011. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10000011 10000011
