Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮟ has the Unicode code point U+13CF. 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+13CF to binary:
00010011 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+13CF, known as CHEROKEE LETTER SI, is a unique typographical symbol with significant importance in the Cherokee language. As part of the Cherokee script, it represents a phonetic element and plays a critical role in conveying meaning within the digital text of this Native American language. The Cherokee language, spoken primarily by the Cherokee people of North America, has seen a revival in recent years due to linguistic preservation efforts. U+13CF contributes to these efforts by providing an accurate and distinct representation for its specific sound within the Cherokee script, thereby enabling effective communication and cultural exchange among speakers of the language.
