Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮅ has the Unicode code point U+13B5. 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+13B5 to binary:
00010011 10110101
. 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 10110101

Description
U+13B5 is a typographical character, known as the Cherokee Letter Li. It plays a crucial role in the Cherokee language, which utilizes syllabary characters to represent sounds, allowing for greater precision than alphabetic writing systems. In digital text, this glyph represents the phoneme /li/ or /lɪ/, contributing to the synthesis of words and phrases in the Cherokee language. The Cherokee script has a rich history and cultural significance, as it was developed in the early 19th century by Sequoyah, a Cherokee man who sought to create a written form for his native tongue. This innovative contribution has enabled the preservation of Cherokee culture and facilitated literacy among its speakers, fostering the continued use and evolution of the language. In modern digital contexts, the Cherokee Letter Li (U+13B5) is an integral component of software and applications designed for Cherokee language support, such as word processors, websites, and educational materials.
