Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᏺ has the Unicode code point U+13FA. 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+13FA to binary:
00010011 11111010
. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+13FA is the Cherokee Small Letter Yo (Ꭷ), which represents a unique phonetic sound in the Cherokee language. This letter is part of the Cherokee script, an alphabet system that was historically used among the Cherokee people in North America. In digital text, U+13FA serves its purpose as a distinctive character that enables accurate representation and communication of the Cherokee language in written form. Cherokee Small Letter Yo is one of the 86 characters in the Cherokee block, which was added to Unicode version 4.0 in 2003 to support this indigenous writing system. The Cherokee script has a rich cultural and linguistic history that dates back centuries, showcasing the linguistic ingenuity of the Cherokee people. U+13FA, along with other characters in the Cherokee block, is crucial for preserving and promoting Cherokee literature, language education, and cultural heritage in the digital age. It's worth noting that Cherokee Small Letter Yo is used solely within the context of the Cherokee language, and its usage outside this linguistic context is rare. As more people become aware of the importance of preserving indigenous languages and cultures, the use of characters like U+13FA in digital communication becomes increasingly significant for maintaining the vitality and diversity of global linguistic expression.
