Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮠ has the Unicode code point U+13D0. 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+13D0 to binary:
00010011 11010000
. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+13D0 represents the Cherokee letter "SO" (). In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in representing the Cherokee language, which is part of the Iroquoian family and primarily spoken by the Cherokee people residing in parts of North America. The Cherokee script, developed in the early 19th century, is an alphasyllabary, meaning that each character represents a syllable rather than a single sound or letter. U+13D0's inclusion in Unicode allows for accurate digital representation and preservation of the Cherokee language, promoting cultural and linguistic diversity in the digital realm. As technology continues to advance and more people become interested in learning about different languages and cultures, the importance of having characters like U+13D0 in Unicode becomes even more significant, ensuring that these unique aspects of human expression are not lost or misrepresented.
