Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+19CE. 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+19CE to binary:
00011001 11001110
. 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 10100111 10001110

Description
U+19CE is a unique Unicode character, specifically used in the Georgian script. It represents a letter "Ʈ" (Uplaris Shin) which is an important component of the Georgian alphabet. This script, dating back to the 5th century AD, has been widely used for various purposes, including religious texts and historical documents. In modern times, it plays a significant role in maintaining linguistic identity and cultural heritage in Georgia and among Georgian-speaking communities worldwide. As a result of the Georgian script's Unicode support, digital text can accurately convey its intended meaning, preserving the rich history and tradition associated with this unique alphabet. The inclusion of U+19CE in the Unicode Standard further demonstrates the commitment to comprehensive typographical representation for all languages and scripts.
