Description

U+1C79 (OL CHIKI GAAHLAA TTUDDAAG) is a unique character in the Unicode Standard that plays an essential role in digital text representation. It belongs to the Georgian script, specifically the Mkhedruli variant, which is used primarily for writing the Georgian language. This script has been in use since the 9th century and is composed of 38 letters, including U+1C79. The character U+1C79 represents a consonant-vowel combination and helps convey meaning within the context of the written language. U+1C79's cultural significance lies in its connection to the rich history and heritage of the Georgian people, as it is an integral part of their written tradition. The Georgian language is an Indo-European language that belongs to the Kartvelian family, which makes it unique among the languages of the region. As a result, the use of U+1C79 in digital text helps preserve and promote this linguistic diversity within the global context of communication. In terms of technicality, the Unicode Standard ensures that characters like U+1C79 are accurately represented across various devices, software, and platforms. This allows for consistent and reliable digital text processing and translation, ultimately supporting multilingualism in the modern world.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 7289 on the numpad. Or use Character Map.

  1. Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout

    The character has the Unicode code point U+1C79. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of 0x0800 to 0xffff.

    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 the x are the payload bits.

    UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range
    Codepoint RangeBytesBit patternPayload length
    U+0000 - U+007F10xxxxxxx7 bits
    U+0080 - U+07FF2110xxxxx 10xxxxxx11 bits
    U+0800 - U+FFFF31110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx16 bits
    U+10000 - U+10FFFF411110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx21 bits
  2. Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:

    Convert the hexadecimal code point U+1C79 to binary: 00011100 01111001. Those are the payload bits.

  3. 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 10110001 10111001
