Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ჺ has the Unicode code point U+10FA. 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+10FA to binary:
00010000 11111010. 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 10000011 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+10FA, known as the Georgian Letter Ain, plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Georgian language. As part of the Georgian script, which is unique to this Caucasian language, it serves to represent specific phonetic and semantic values within written texts. The Georgian script itself, composed of 38 letters, is one of the world's oldest extant writing systems, dating back to the 5th century. U+10FA contributes to maintaining this linguistic heritage in a digital environment, facilitating communication and information exchange among Georgian speakers worldwide.
