Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮥ has the Unicode code point U+13D5. 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+13D5 to binary:
00010011 11010101
. 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 10001111 10010101
CHEROKEE LETTER DE·U+13D5

Description
The Unicode character U+13D5 represents "CHEROKEE LETTER DE" in the Cherokee script. This specific character plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling the representation of the Cherokee language, which is spoken primarily by the Cherokee people native to North America. As part of the Cherokee syllabary, developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century, U+13D5 contributes to preserving and promoting this unique linguistic heritage. The Cherokee script was groundbreaking as it was one of the first indigenous writing systems created using an alphabet rather than a syllabary or logographic system. Today, U+13D5 is used in various digital platforms, software applications, and websites to accurately represent and convey information in the Cherokee language, thus fostering cultural appreciation and understanding.
