Description

The Unicode character U+10FE, known as the Georgian Letter Hard Sign (Ნ), is an essential element in the Georgian script, serving a unique role in digital text representation. As part of the Georgian script, it plays a crucial role in the written language of Georgia, a country in the Caucasus region with a rich linguistic and cultural heritage. The Georgian script, which dates back to the 5th century AD, is a unique alphabet that consists of 38 letters, each with its own distinct shape. U+10FE, or the Georgian Letter Hard Sign, is one of these letters, specifically indicating the palatalization of preceding consonants, contributing to the nuanced pronunciation and overall phonetics in the language. The character's usage and significance reflect the importance of preserving linguistic diversity and cultural identity through accurate digital text representation, essential for maintaining the richness of Georgia's historical and linguistic heritage.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4350 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+10FE. 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+10FE to binary: 00010000 11111110. 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 10111110
