Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ჼ has the Unicode code point U+10FC. 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+10FC to binary:
00010000 11111100
. 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 10111100

Description
U+10FC, also known as the Modifier Letter Georgian Nar, is a Unicode character that plays a significant role in digital typography, particularly within the realm of the Georgian language. The Georgian script, which belongs to the Kartvelian language family, is distinct and unique, and the Modifier Letter Georgian Nar is one of its essential components. This specific character is used as a diacritic in the Georgian alphabet, serving to modify the base letter it accompanies by altering its phonetic value or indicating a change in pronunciation. This feature makes it an indispensable tool for accurately transcribing and translating text within the Georgian language, thus preserving linguistic integrity across different digital platforms. Moreover, this character's inclusion in Unicode emphasizes the increasing global recognition and accessibility of lesser-known scripts like Georgian, thereby fostering cultural exchange and understanding. By providing a standardized method for encoding the Modifier Letter Georgian Nar and other such characters, Unicode ensures that digital typography remains accurate and accessible to a diverse array of languages and cultures.
