Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣰ has the Unicode code point U+18F0. 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+18F0 to binary:
00011000 11110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+18F0 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GWA". This typographical symbol is a part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 352 characters and covers the alphabets used by various Indigenous peoples in Canada. The primary function of U+18F0 is to act as a "carrier" character within this script. A carrier character is essential for the formation of syllable blocks that make up words in these languages, similar to how individual letters form words in English. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are not just a simple translation of the Roman alphabet but represent a unique writing system with its own set of rules and syntax. U+18F0 is significant because it supports this distinct cultural and linguistic context, enabling the preservation, promotion, and dissemination of Indigenous Canadian languages. Its use in digital text aids in maintaining the integrity of these languages in modern communication and technology. In terms of technical specifications, U+18F0 is encoded in the Unicode Standard, which ensures global interoperability in digital text. This encoding allows for consistent display and processing across various platforms and applications, thereby facilitating greater accessibility to the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics.
