Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ნ has the Unicode code point U+10DC. 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+10DC to binary:
00010000 11011100
. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+10DC represents the Georgian letter "ნარ" (Nar). In the context of digital text, this character is used to encode and display the Georgian script, which is a regional language primarily spoken in Georgia, a nation situated at the intersection of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. The Georgian script, which is part of the Kartvelian language family, is unique for its distinctive cursive style and its use of vertical strokes. U+10DC is essential in the digital representation of the written form of the Georgian language, enabling accurate transcription, translation, and communication across various platforms and devices. As a crucial component of this writing system, U+10DC contributes to preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage and linguistic identity of Georgia and its speakers worldwide.
