Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ბ has the Unicode code point U+10D1. 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+10D1 to binary:
00010000 11010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+10D1 represents the Georgian letter "ბან" or "Ban" (Unicode name: "Georgian Letter Ban"). This character is a crucial component of the Georgian script, which is primarily used to transcribe the Georgian language. In digital text, it plays a pivotal role in the accurate representation and transmission of written Georgian language across different platforms and devices. The Georgian script, of which U+10D1 is a part, has a rich history dating back to the 5th century AD and is unique for its use of vertical strokes crossing through horizontal strokes, making it easily distinguishable from other scripts. As an integral symbol within the Georgian alphabet, U+10D1 contributes to the linguistic diversity and cultural heritage of the Georgian people.
