Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮐ has the Unicode code point U+13C0. 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+13C0 to binary:
00010011 11000000. 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 10000000

Description
The Unicode character U+13C0, referred to as CHEROKEE LETTER NAH, holds a significant position in the Cherokee language, an indigenous language primarily spoken by the Cherokee people in the southeastern United States. It has a crucial role in digital text by allowing accurate representation of this language online and in software. The Cherokee script is unique as it is a syllabary consisting of 85 distinct characters, each representing a syllable rather than a single consonant-vowel pairing as in most alphabetic scripts. CHEROKEE LETTER NAH specifically represents the syllables /na/ or /nə/. This character contributes to preserving and promoting Cherokee linguistic and cultural heritage, which is essential for maintaining indigenous languages in the digital age.
