Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮄ has the Unicode code point U+13B4. 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+13B4 to binary:
00010011 10110100
. 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 10110100

Description
The Unicode character U+13B4, known as CHEROKEE LETTER LE, is a symbol used primarily within the Cherokee language. As part of the Cherokee Syllabary, it represents one of the 86 characters in this writing system, which was developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century. The Cherokee Syllabary is significant for its use in a modern, written form of the Cherokee language and its role in preserving the cultural heritage of Native American communities. In digital text, CHEROKEE LETTER LE is typically used to transcribe the initial consonant cluster 'le' in the Cherokee language, contributing to a phonetic representation of spoken Cherokee. Its use within digital communications and electronic documents serves an important purpose in promoting linguistic diversity and facilitating communication among speakers of the Cherokee language.
