Description

The character U+10D3, known as the Georgian Letter Don, plays a significant role in digital texts representing the Georgian script. This script is primarily used for the Kartvelian languages, predominantly Georgian. The Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century, is unique for its use of a cursive uppercase and lowercase letterforms. U+10D3 is one of the 38 characters in the Georgian Extended version of Unicode, specifically designed to support the entire range of Georgian alphabet. The character is typically employed in digital text, such as websites, documents, or software programs, that require the use of the Georgian language. In the context of linguistics and culture, U+10D3 is integral to preserving the linguistic heritage and identity of the Georgian people by ensuring accurate representation of their language online and in digital media. The technical aspect of U+10D3 involves its encoding in Unicode, which ensures its correct interpretation across different platforms and software applications.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4307 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+10D3. 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+10D3 to binary: 00010000 11010011. 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 10010011
