Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+0ADE. 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+0ADE to binary:
00001010 11011110
. 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:
11100000 10101011 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+0ADE represents a letter "Ŋ" from the Georgian script, specifically the Mkhedruli version. In digital text, this character is commonly used to transcribe the sound "ŋ" or the English velar nasal sound, often found in various dialects and languages worldwide. While this specific Unicode value might not be widely employed, it plays a significant role for linguists, anthropologists, and researchers studying the Georgian language and its unique script. The Georgian alphabet, of which U+0ADE is a part, is classified as an Abugida system, which means each letter has an inherent vowel sound, making it different from the Latin alphabet used for English and many other languages.
