Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᏽ has the Unicode code point U+13FD. 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+13FD to binary:
00010011 11111101
. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+13FD represents the Cherokee Small Letter Mv, a glyph from the Cherokee script, which is used in writing the Cherokee language. This script is unique as it is composed of syllabic characters and was developed by Sequoyah, an indigenous leader, to transcribe the various phonetic elements of the Cherokee language, which does not have a direct written form. The Cherokee Small Letter Mv plays a crucial role in digital text representation, enabling users who speak or study the Cherokee language to write and communicate effectively. The Unicode character U+13FD is essential for preserving the linguistic heritage of Native American communities and promoting cultural diversity on the internet.
