Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮛ has the Unicode code point U+13CB. 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+13CB to binary:
00010011 11001011
. 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 10001011

Description
The Unicode character U+13CB, known as CHEROKEE LETTER QUV, holds significant importance in the Cherokee language and digital typography. In its typical usage within digital text, it serves as a fundamental character, representing a distinct phoneme or sound in the Cherokee language. This character is part of the Cherokee script block, which comprises 218 characters used to transcribe the Cherokee language, an indigenous language of Native American tribes historically residing in the Southeastern United States. The introduction of CHEROKEE LETTER QUV and other characters in digital text systems has greatly facilitated the representation, preservation, and promotion of the Cherokee language and culture. As part of Unicode, U+13CB ensures accuracy, consistency, and interoperability across various platforms, while providing a vital tool for linguists, researchers, and speakers of the Cherokee language to communicate in their native tongue through digital means.
