Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ზ has the Unicode code point U+10D6. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+10D6 to binary:
00010000 11010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Georgian Letter Zen, designated by the Unicode character U+10D6, holds a significant position within the Mkhedruli script, which is used to transcribe the Georgian language. In digital text, this symbol plays a crucial role in encoding and displaying text in its native script accurately. The Georgian language, spoken by millions of people primarily in Georgia and the surrounding regions, is part of the Kartvelian linguistic family, setting it apart from other Indo-European languages. While the Unicode standard provides support for this unique script, including the character U+10D6, it underscores the importance of preserving and promoting cultural diversity in the digital world. As a part of the Mkhedruli script, the Georgian Letter Zen contributes to the rich heritage and linguistic identity of the Georgian people.
