Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ჩ has the Unicode code point U+10E9. 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+10E9 to binary:
00010000 11101001
. 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 10101001

Description
The Unicode character U+10E9 represents the Georgian letter Chin (ჯ), which is part of the Georgian script, a unique alphabet used for writing the Georgian language. This script is predominantly used in digital text for typing and publishing content in the Georgian language. The Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century AD, has been recognized by UNESCO as a cultural treasure due to its historical significance and uniqueness. It is composed of 38 letters, including vowels and consonants, with each letter having a specific phonetic value. The Georgian script uses an abugida system, where the basic structure of each character represents a consonant-vowel sound unit. U+10E9 specifically corresponds to the Chin letter, which has its own distinct form and pronunciation in the Georgian language. While the Georgian script is primarily used for communication within Georgia and among Georgian speakers worldwide, its unique design and historical importance make it a valuable asset in linguistic studies and typography.
