Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣴ has the Unicode code point U+18F4. 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+18F4 to binary:
00011000 11110100. 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 10100011 10110100

Description
U+18F4 is a character from the Canadian Syllabics block of Unicode, specifically classified as Beaver Dene R. This character plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within linguistic and cultural contexts of Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Canadian Syllabics script was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate the translation of religious texts into Cree and other Indigenous languages. Over time, it has evolved to include additional dialects and languages, such as Beaver Dene R. This character contributes to the preservation and promotion of these rich linguistic heritages, fostering communication and cultural expression among Indigenous communities in Canada. In typography, U+18F4 is used with precision and accuracy to maintain the authenticity and readability of digital texts written in these languages.
