Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ᏹ has the Unicode code point U+13F1. 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+13F1 to binary:
00010011 11110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+13F1 is the Unicode character for Cherokee Letter YI (Ꭷ), a unique symbol in the Cherokee writing system. This script was developed by Sequoyah, a Cherokee tribal member, in the early 19th century to transcribe the Cherokee language, which lacked a written form before this time. U+13F1 is typically used in digital text and other electronic platforms to represent the sound /y/ or /j/ in the Cherokee language. The Cherokee script is significant as it's one of the few syllabaries in the world, with each character representing a consonant-vowel pairing rather than individual phonemes like in alphabetic writing systems. As part of an effort to preserve and promote Native American culture, U+13F1 plays a crucial role in digital communication for Cherokee speakers and those studying the language.
