Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ჟ has the Unicode code point U+10DF. 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+10DF to binary:
00010000 11011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+10DF represents the Georgian letter "Zhari", also known as ZHAR in the ISO 9956 standard for Georgian script. This character is typically used within the context of digital text to represent a specific phoneme or sound in the Georgian language, which is spoken by millions of people primarily in the country of Georgia and among Georgian diaspora communities worldwide. As part of the Georgian script, U+10DF plays a significant role in encoding and transmitting written information in this unique alphabetic system, which has its roots dating back to the 5th century AD. The Georgian script is noteworthy for its distinct and complex features, including unique serifs on certain letters and an overall style that distinguishes it from other alphabets. In digital text, U+10DF, like all characters in the Georgian block of Unicode, allows for accurate representation and preservation of the language's rich history and cultural heritage, ensuring that future generations can continue to read, write, and communicate in this ancient script.
