Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ქ has the Unicode code point U+10E5. 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+10E5 to binary:
00010000 11100101
. 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 10100101

Description
The Georgian script is a unique abugida writing system native to the country of Georgia, and its alphabet consists of 38 letters, including the U+10E5 character, Georgian Letter Khar (ᴧ). This particular letter has significant cultural and linguistic importance in the Georgian language. In digital text, it is used for representing various sounds within the Georgian language. The Georgian script stands out due to its symmetrical appearance, with each character having a specific positioning of the horizontal strokes. Although there isn't any known technical context or usage beyond its role in the Georgian language, it showcases the richness and diversity of the world's writing systems. Its inclusion in Unicode ensures that the Georgian script can be accurately represented on digital platforms, preserving the linguistic heritage for future generations.
