Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꮾ has the Unicode code point U+13EE. 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+13EE to binary:
00010011 11101110
. 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 10101110

Description
The Unicode character U+13EE represents the Cherokee Letter 'WV'. This character is a part of the Cherokee script, which belongs to the native American languages family. While it's not widely used in everyday digital text communication due to its highly specialized context, it plays a crucial role in linguistic and cultural preservation of the Cherokee language. The Cherokee script was developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century as an orthography for the Cherokee language. Today, the Cherokee script is considered a vital tool for revitalizing the Cherokee language and preserving Cherokee cultural heritage. As part of the Unicode Standard, it ensures the accurate representation of the character in digital texts, promoting its use in linguistic research, cultural studies, and preservation efforts.
