Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮳ has the Unicode code point U+13E3. 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+13E3 to binary:
00010011 11100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+13E3 represents the Cherokee Letter Tsa (Ꮿ). In digital texts, it is used as a core component of the Cherokee script, which is the writing system for the Cherokee language, spoken by the Cherokee people indigenous to the southeastern United States. The Cherokee script is a syllabary, meaning each symbol represents a syllable rather than a specific sound or word. U+13E3 is specifically used to represent the "tsa" syllable, which includes the consonant sound /t/ followed by the high back unrounded vowel /ɑ/. The Cherokee script has a rich cultural and linguistic history, as it was developed in the early 19th century by Sequoyah, an indigenous polymath. Today, U+13E3 and other characters in the Cherokee script continue to play a vital role in preserving and promoting the Cherokee language and culture, while also contributing to the diversity of written human languages represented in Unicode.
