Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮬ has the Unicode code point U+13DC. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
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 thexare 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+13DC to binary:
00010011 11011100. 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 10011100

Description
The Unicode character U+13DC, also known as CHEROKEE LETTER DLA, is a unique letter from the Cherokee syllabary, which was developed in the early 19th century by Sequoyah, a self-taught linguist and inventor. This character represents the consonant-vowel sequence /dl/, making it crucial for accurate pronunciation and text transcription within the Cherokee language. U+13DC is used extensively in digital texts to preserve and promote the rich cultural heritage of the Cherokee people, as well as to support linguistic research and education efforts. The character plays an important role in the modern revitalization of the Cherokee language, which is currently spoken by thousands of Native American speakers living primarily in Oklahoma and North Carolina. By accurately incorporating U+13DC into digital texts, we can help maintain and strengthen the cultural identity of the Cherokee people, while also showcasing the technical prowess of Unicode in representing diverse writing systems.
