Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character წ has the Unicode code point U+10EC. 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+10EC to binary:
00010000 11101100. 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 10101100

Description
The Unicode character U+10EC represents the Georgian letter "Cil" (ჭ). In digital text, this character is used as part of the Georgian script, which comprises 38 letters in total. The Georgian script belongs to the Kartvelian language family and is unique for its three alphabetical sequences: Asomtavruli (9th-10th centuries), Nuskhuri (9th-14th centuries), and Mkhedruli (12th century onwards). The Georgian script has been inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register for its historical significance. Each letter in the Georgian alphabet represents a sound, serving as the basis for written communication in the official language of Georgia, Georgian. Although it is not widely used outside of Georgia and certain communities, learning the Georgian script can be a rewarding experience for those interested in typography or linguistics.
