Description

U+10E1, also known as the Georgian Letter San (Ⴀ), is a vital character in the Georgian script, which is an alphabetic writing system predominantly used for the Georgian language. In digital text, it serves as a building block for forming words and phrases, enabling users to communicate effectively in the Georgian language. The Georgian script has a rich history dating back to the 5th century AD, and its characters are distinctively recognizable due to their unique shape and design. Although not widely used outside of Georgia, the script holds great cultural significance for the people of Georgia, as it is deeply intertwined with their heritage and identity. The Georgian script is part of the Unicode Standard, which ensures its accurate representation across various digital platforms and devices, thereby preserving its linguistic integrity in the digital age.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 4321 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+10E1. 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+10E1 to binary: 00010000 11100001. 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 10100001
