Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+05C9. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 2 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0080to0x07ff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 11 bits within the final 16 bits and that it will have the format:110xxxxx 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+05C9 to binary:
00000101 11001001. 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:
11010111 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+05C9 (CHARACTER 05C9) is an integral part of the Georgian script, which is used primarily for writing the Georgian language. This script is unique in its design as it features a syllabary, where each letter represents a syllable rather than a phoneme like most alphabets. The character U+05C9 specifically represents the sound "u" in Georgian and plays a crucial role in encoding digital text that uses the Georgian script. Being part of an ancient writing system, it holds a significant cultural value as it has been used since the 5th century to write one of the oldest languages in the world. The Georgian script is renowned for its aesthetically pleasing and distinctive appearance, which sets it apart from many other scripts. In today's digital age, the character U+05C9 helps maintain the rich literary heritage of Georgia by facilitating communication and preservation of their language through encoding systems like Unicode.
