Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮫ has the Unicode code point U+13DB. 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+13DB to binary:
00010011 11011011
. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+13DB represents Cherokee Letter Dv (), a letter from the Cherokee script. In digital text, this character is primarily used for rendering and display purposes within the context of the Cherokee language, which is spoken by the Cherokee people in North America. The Cherokee syllabary, developed by Sequoyah during the early 19th century, consists of 86 unique characters, including this particular letter. As a part of the Cherokee script, U+13DB contributes to the accurate representation and preservation of linguistic and cultural heritage. In typography, proper font support for Cherokee characters is essential to ensure correct display and readability of texts in the Cherokee language.
