Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮜ has the Unicode code point U+13CC. 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+13CC to binary:
00010011 11001100
. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+13CC represents the Cherokee letter "Sa" (CHEROKEE LETTER SA), which is an essential component of the Cherokee script. In digital text, it serves as a unique identifier for this particular phoneme in the Cherokee language, enabling accurate representation and encoding of the written form of this Native American language. The Cherokee language, spoken primarily by the Cherokee people of North America, has a distinct writing system that utilizes its own set of characters separate from the Latin script. U+13CC plays a vital role in preserving the linguistic heritage and cultural identity of the Cherokee people by ensuring accurate digital representation of their language. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+13CC promotes global interoperability of text by providing a standardized method for encoding, storing, and transmitting text data from diverse languages and scripts in digital communication and computing environments.
