Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ღ has the Unicode code point U+10E6. 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+10E6 to binary:
00010000 11100110
. 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 10100110

Description
The character U+10E6 represents the Georgian letter "Ghani" (Ლ) in the Georgian script, which is part of the Unicode Standard. This script was developed to represent the Georgian language, a Kartvelian language spoken predominantly in Georgia and by Georgian people in various other countries. The Georgian script is unique in its design, featuring 38 letters, 14 of which are unique to this particular alphabet. U+10E6, or Ლ, specifically represents the Georgian letter Ghani (Gh-An), and is used in digital text to transcribe and translate the Georgian language accurately. Its role is vital in preserving the linguistic heritage of Georgia, a country with a rich literary tradition dating back over a thousand years. This character, along with other characters in the Unicode Standard, plays a significant part in promoting cross-cultural communication by enabling the accurate representation and translation of texts from diverse languages and scripts.
