Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣞ has the Unicode code point U+18DE. 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+18DE to binary:
00011000 11011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+18DE, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS FINAL SMALL RING, holds a significant role in digital text by serving as a crucial element in the representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages. These languages, which belong to the Algonquian family, predominantly rely on syllabic writing systems. The character is specifically utilized as a final small ring, demonstrating a linguistic distinction in the syllabic script. This character helps preserve and promote Indigenous cultures by enabling digital communication within these language communities. In addition, the use of U+18DE showcases the richness and diversity of global linguistic expressions, contributing to the broad representation of human languages facilitated by Unicode.
