Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ჳ has the Unicode code point U+10F3. 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+10F3 to binary:
00010000 11110011
. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+10F3 represents the Georgian letter WE (Ⴓ), which plays a significant role in the Mkhedruli script of the Georgian language. This script is primarily used for writing modern Georgian, one of the oldest living languages in the world, with roots dating back to the early centuries A.D. U+10F3 is part of the Georgian Extended block introduced in Unicode 5.2 (2009) to support the encoding of the Mkhedruli script. In digital text, this character enables accurate representation and communication of Georgian language content across various electronic platforms and software applications. Despite being less commonly used in international contexts compared to other widely-spoken languages, U+10F3 is a crucial component for preserving and promoting the linguistic and cultural heritage of Georgia, making it an essential character within the Unicode Standard.
