Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣮ has the Unicode code point U+18EE. 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+18EE to binary:
00011000 11101110
. 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 10101110

Description
U+18EE is a character from the Unicode Standard, representing the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DENE GEE (𞄰). In digital text, this character serves as a carrier for the following three Dené syllabics: 𞄱 (ᒣ), (ᔥ), and (ᑐ). Its primary role is to facilitate the representation of the Dene language, which is spoken by various Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Dene language belongs to the Athapaskan family of languages, and its use of syllabic characters, as opposed to an alphabetic writing system, reflects the phonological structure of the language. U+18EE is an essential element in digital text for accurate representation and preservation of this linguistic heritage, supporting both traditional literature and modern communications in the Dene community.
