Description

The Unicode character U+0B46, also known as CHARACTER 0B46, is a symbol from the Georgian script, which is used to represent various sounds in the Georgian language. This script has been in use since the 5th century and holds significant cultural importance for the people of Georgia. The Georgian script comprises three alphabets - Mkhedruli, Asomtavruli, and Nuskhuri - with each alphabet serving a specific historical or religious purpose. In the modern era, U+0B46 is predominantly used in digital text for its original function in written Georgian language. While it may not be widely recognized outside of Georgia, the character plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of the country.

How to type the symbol on Windows

Hold Alt and type 2886 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+0B46. 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+0B46 to binary: 00001011 01000110. 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:
    11100000 10101101 10000110
