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
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+0B46 to binary:
00001011 01000110
. 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 10101101 10000110

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.
