Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣖ has the Unicode code point U+18D6. 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+18D6 to binary:
00011000 11010110
. 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 10010110

Description
U+18D6 is the Unicode character code for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS OJIBWAY K." This character plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Ojibwe language, which is one of the Algonquian languages spoken by the Ojibwe people indigenous to North America. The Canadian Syllabics block of Unicode contains characters specifically designed to represent phonetic sounds within this and other similar indigenous languages, allowing for more accurate and efficient communication in these languages online and in digital contexts. These characters are essential for preserving the linguistic heritage of these communities, promoting cultural understanding and diversity in our increasingly connected world.
