Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character გ has the Unicode code point U+10D2. 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+10D2 to binary:
00010000 11010010. 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 10010010

Description
The Unicode character U+10D2, known as the Georgian Letter Gan (ᲂ), is an integral component of the Georgian script, which is primarily used for writing the Kartvelian language family, particularly in Georgia and the surrounding regions. As part of a 38-letter alphabet, it plays a significant role in digital text encoding for these languages. U+10D2 contributes to the rich linguistic diversity and cultural heritage of the Caucasus, where Georgian is one of the four official languages alongside Russian, Armenian, and Azerbaijani. Its precise usage depends on its position within words and sentences, which can significantly alter meaning in the context of the language's unique syntactic structure. In technical terms, U+10D2 is part of the Georgian Extended script block and is typically represented by a character similar to the Latin letter "J" with a horizontal line through it. This character is essential for accurate representation of texts in digital environments, fostering communication and preserving linguistic identity within and beyond the Georgian-speaking community.
