Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮑ has the Unicode code point U+13C1. 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+13C1 to binary:
00010011 11000001
. 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 10000001
CHEROKEE LETTER NE·U+13C1

Description
The Unicode character U+13C1, known as CHEROKEE LETTER NE, plays a significant role in the Cherokee language, which is spoken by the Cherokee people of North America. In digital text, this character serves to represent the phonetic sound "ne" or "nē," and it is used alongside other Cherokee script characters to form words and sentences. The Cherokee script has a unique position in typography as it was one of the first Native American writing systems to be developed using the Unicode system, thereby contributing to digital text inclusivity for diverse linguistic communities. In addition to its linguistic importance, CHEROKEE LETTER NE also holds cultural significance as it helps preserve and promote the Cherokee language and heritage in the digital age.
