Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮡ has the Unicode code point U+13D1. 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+13D1 to binary:
00010011 11010001
. 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 10010001

Description
U+13D1 is a character in the Cherokee script, representing the letter 'Su'. This Unicode character plays a significant role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Cherokee language in various software applications, websites, and documents. The Cherokee people, originally inhabiting what is now the southeastern United States, had a rich cultural history and developed their own unique writing system. In modern times, this script has seen a resurgence due to efforts by linguists and native speakers to preserve and promote the Cherokee language. U+13D1's inclusion in the Unicode Standard reflects an ongoing commitment to support and represent diverse languages, cultural heritages, and scripts globally.
