Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮰ has the Unicode code point U+13E0. 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+13E0 to binary:
00010011 11100000
. 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 10100000
CHEROKEE LETTER TLO·U+13E0

Description
The Unicode character U+13E0 represents CHEROKEE LETTER TLO, a letter from the Cherokee syllabary. This unique typographical glyph holds significant cultural importance as it forms part of the Cherokee language, which was developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century. The Cherokee syllabary consists of 86 distinct symbols, each representing a different phoneme, enabling the accurate and efficient representation of spoken Cherokee. In digital text, U+13E0 (CHEROKEE LETTER TLO) is typically used to transcribe the sounds /tˈlóː/ or /tʰˈlóː/, depending on the phonetic context. It serves as a crucial element in preserving and promoting the Cherokee language, which has faced endangerment due to the widespread influence of English and other languages in the Cherokee Nation's territories. Efforts are being made to revitalize the Cherokee language through education and media, and characters like U+13E0 (CHEROKEE LETTER TLO) play a vital role in maintaining linguistic heritage and cultural identity.
