Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢰ has the Unicode code point U+18B0. 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+18B0 to binary:
00011000 10110000. 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 10100010 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+18B0 represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS OY". It is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block which consists of 93 characters, ranging from U+16A0 to U+16FF and U+1700 to U+177F. This group of characters is primarily used for writing in the Cree, Ojibway (also known as Chippewa), Inuit, and other Aboriginal languages spoken in Canada. Specifically, "OY" represents a syllable or vowel sound in these languages. However, it's important to note that this character is not widely used outside of certain Indigenous communities due to the limitations of digital encoding until recent advancements in Unicode support. The use and understanding of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are often limited by the availability of software and fonts capable of displaying these characters correctly, thus impacting their cultural significance on a wider scale. Despite these challenges, the character U+18B0 plays a significant role in digital text for those communities that continue to use and preserve the Canadian Aboriginal languages.
