Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮙ has the Unicode code point U+13C9. 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+13C9 to binary:
00010011 11001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+13C9, known as CHEROKEE LETTER QUO, is a unique glyph found within the Cherokee script. This character plays a vital role in digital text by representing a specific phonetic sound or concept within the Cherokee language. As part of the Cherokee syllabary, which was developed in the early 19th century, U+13C9 contributes to the accurate representation and preservation of the Cherokee language, a Native American language primarily spoken by the Cherokee people residing in North America. The Cherokee script is a syllabary, meaning each character represents a syllable rather than a single sound as seen in alphabets. This makes U+13C9 and other characters within the Cherokee script particularly significant for maintaining linguistic integrity and supporting communication among the Cherokee community. The use of Unicode ensures that this character, along with others in the script, is accurately displayed and interpreted across various digital platforms and devices.
