Description

The Unicode character U+10E7, known as the Georgian Letter Qar (ჯ), holds significant importance within the realm of digital text, specifically in the context of the Georgian script. This script, which originated in the 5th century, is used to represent the Kartvelian language family spoken by approximately seven million people, primarily in Georgia and the surrounding regions. U+10E7 plays a crucial role in facilitating communication within these communities, as it represents one of 38 unique letters that constitute the Georgian alphabet. The letter Qar holds phonetic value, representing the voiceless palatal plosive sound /c/. Its proper usage contributes to the accurate representation and preservation of linguistic heritage in digital formats. This ensures that texts transcribed using the Georgian script maintain their cultural, linguistic, and technical context, enabling effective communication among speakers of these languages and fostering a deeper understanding of their rich history and traditions.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4327 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+10E7. 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+10E7 to binary: 00010000 11100111. 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 10100111
