Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character has the Unicode code point U+197D. 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+197D to binary:
00011001 01111101
. 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 10100101 10111101

Description
U+197D is a special character code in the Unicode standard used to represent various symbols or characters in digital text. In its typical usage, this character serves as an important glyph within the Georgian script, specifically representing the letter "Ra" (რ). The Georgian alphabet is an ancient writing system with roots dating back to at least the 5th century AD, and it plays a crucial role in the cultural heritage of the country of Georgia. U+197D is used extensively in digital communication systems, software applications, and websites that require support for the Georgian language. This character's presence ensures that texts remain accurate and culturally appropriate, enabling users to access and share information in their native language with ease.
