Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ჯ has the Unicode code point U+10EF. 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+10EF to binary:
00010000 11101111
. 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 10101111

Description
The character U+10EF, known as the Georgian Letter Jhan (ᲂ), is a crucial component of the Georgian script, which is used to represent the Kartvelian language family, primarily in Georgia and neighboring regions. In digital text, this letter holds an essential role in accurately conveying the meaning and nuance of written works in the Georgian language. The Georgian script is unique for its distinct alphabetic structure, with each character representing a consonant-vowel pair, as opposed to traditional alphabets that separate consonants and vowels. Consequently, U+10EF is integral to preserving the cultural identity of Georgia and its linguistic heritage. Its use in digital communication and documentation helps maintain linguistic accuracy and ensures the continued survival of this ancient script.
