Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꭶ has the Unicode code point U+13A6. 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+13A6 to binary:
00010011 10100110. 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 10001110 10100110

Description
U+13A6, also known as CHEROKEE LETTER GA, is a typographic character predominantly used in digital texts representing the Cherokee language. This script, derived from a syllabary developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century, comprises 85 characters, each of which represents a consonant-vowel combination. CHEROKEE LETTER GA specifically denotes the "ka" sound when used in the Cherokee script. In addition to its linguistic significance, the Cherokee syllabary has cultural and historical importance, as it played a crucial role in preserving and revitalizing the Cherokee language and culture following European-American settlement in Cherokee lands. Today, digital typography allows for the accurate representation of these unique characters, contributing to the ongoing efforts to maintain and promote the use of the Cherokee language.
