Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣌ has the Unicode code point U+18CC. 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+18CC to binary:
00011000 11001100. 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 10001100

Description
The Unicode character U+18CC (CANADIAN SYLLABICS NWOO) is an essential symbol in the Canadian Syllabics block of characters, which consists of 53 glyphs used primarily for expressing spoken Indigenous languages across Canada. These languages include Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other First Nations' dialects. U+18CC is specifically associated with the NWOO syllabic set, representing a combination of sounds in these languages. It plays a crucial role in digital text to preserve Indigenous cultural heritage by enabling accurate transcription and communication of oral traditions, literature, and modern expressions through these unique scripts. In today's increasingly interconnected world, U+18CC and other Canadian Syllabics characters are instrumental in promoting language preservation, education, and appreciation for the rich linguistic diversity present in Canada's Indigenous communities.
