Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮕ has the Unicode code point U+13C5. 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+13C5 to binary:
00010011 11000101
. 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 10000101

Description
The Unicode character U+13C5, also known as CHEROKEE LETTER NV, holds significant importance in the Cherokee language. This unique letter is an essential component of the Cherokee syllabary, which was created by Sequoyah in the early 19th century to transcribe the Cherokee language, a Native American language spoken primarily in the Southeastern United States. As part of the Cherokee script, CHEROKEE LETTER NV represents a phonetic element in the language and plays a vital role in digital text representation of the Cherokee language, enabling accurate communication and preservation of this rich cultural heritage. Its use in digital texts allows for the continued documentation, study, and revitalization of the Cherokee language among native speakers and linguists alike, ensuring its survival in the modern world.
