Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᏸ has the Unicode code point U+13F8. 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+13F8 to binary:
00010011 11111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+13F8 represents 'CHEROKEE SMALL LETTER YE' in the Cherokee script. This character is used to represent the sound represented by the Latin letter 'Y'. It is part of the Cherokee syllabary, which was developed by Sequoyah in the early 19th century as a written form for the Cherokee language. The Cherokee script comprises 86 distinct symbols, each representing a different sound or syllable. U+13F8 is often used in digital text to transcribe and transliterate Cherokee words and phrases, thus preserving the linguistic heritage of the Cherokee people. It has significant cultural and linguistic importance as it enables the accurate representation of the Cherokee language, a Native American language spoken by the Cherokee people primarily in the United States.
