Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character Ꭰ has the Unicode code point U+13A0. 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+13A0 to binary:
00010011 10100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+13A0, known as CHEROKEE LETTER A, holds significant importance in the Cherokee language and typography. This unique character is part of the Cherokee script, which was developed around 1825 by Sequoyah, a Cherokee polymath, to represent the sounds of the Cherokee language. The character's role in digital text is crucial for accurate representation and communication in the Cherokee language, enabling speakers and learners of the language to express themselves clearly and precisely. In terms of linguistic context, CHEROKEE LETTER A specifically represents the phoneme /a/, which is an important sound in the Cherokee language. The character's inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that it can be consistently encoded, displayed, and manipulated across various platforms, software, and devices. This facilitates broader access to and use of the Cherokee language in digital contexts, fostering cultural preservation and linguistic revitalization efforts among Cherokee speakers. From a technical standpoint, CHEROKEE LETTER A is part of the Cherokee block (U+13A0–U+13FF) in Unicode, which comprises 26 letters, 4 vowel marks, and 5 tone marks, all of which are necessary for accurate transcription of the Cherokee language. The character's precise representation is vital for linguistic research, translation, and digital communication among Cherokee speakers and learners worldwide.
