Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꭵ has the Unicode code point U+13A5. 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+13A5 to binary:
00010011 10100101
. 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 10001110 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+13A5, known as CHEROKEE LETTER V, is an essential element within the Cherokee script, which is a syllabary used for writing the Cherokee language. This language belongs to the Iroquoian family and has been widely spoken by the Cherokee people native to Southeastern United States. As a part of the Unicode Standard, U+13A5 plays a critical role in digital text representation, enabling accurate and standardized communication across various platforms and devices. While its usage is primarily cultural and linguistic, it also serves technical purposes in areas like data encoding, software development, and information technology where diverse languages and scripts are involved. By accurately representing the Cherokee script, U+13A5 contributes to the preservation of Cherokee culture, language, and heritage.
