Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢻ has the Unicode code point U+18BB. 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+18BB to binary:
00011000 10111011. 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 10111011

Description
The Unicode character U+18BB, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NOY, is a specialized glyph used in digital text to represent a specific phoneme in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system. This unique script was developed in the early 20th century to facilitate literacy and communication within Indigenous communities across Canada. U+18BB specifically represents the "noy" sound, which is essential for accurately conveying meaning in the Cree language and other Canadian Aboriginal languages that utilize this writing system. The character's role in digital text is crucial for preserving linguistic diversity and supporting cultural expression among Indigenous peoples in Canada. Its usage adheres to strict typographical rules, as it must be appropriately paired with other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters to form words and sentences that accurately represent the intended meaning. As a result, U+18BB plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic integrity within digital texts for these communities.
