Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꭻ has the Unicode code point U+13AB. 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+13AB to binary:
00010011 10101011
. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+13AB, known as CHEROKEE LETTER GU, holds a significant position in the Cherokee language. This particular letter is unique to the Cherokee writing system and does not exist within the standard English alphabet or other major languages. Typically used in digital text, it serves as a fundamental element for transcribing Cherokee, an indigenous North American language spoken by the Cherokee people. The Cherokee script, of which U+13AB is a part, is a syllabary and each character represents a mora, or a syllable in the language. This specific character has not been widely adopted outside its linguistic context due to the limited number of speakers of the Cherokee language and the unique nature of its script. However, for those familiar with the Cherokee language, U+13AB plays an essential role in accurately representing the rich cultural heritage and history of the Cherokee people through their native written form.
