Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣘ has the Unicode code point U+18D8. 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+18D8 to binary:
00011000 11011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+18D8, also known as Canadian Syllabics Ojibway M, is a typographical character primarily used in digital text for representing the phoneme 'm' within the Ojibwe language. The Ojibwe language belongs to the Algonquian language family and is predominantly spoken by the Indigenous Ojibwe people in North America. This character plays a vital role in preserving and promoting the Ojibwe culture, allowing speakers of the language to express themselves accurately and maintain their linguistic heritage. The Canadian Syllabics characters are specifically designed for use with the Romanized Ojibwe alphabet, providing a visual representation of phonemes unique to the language. By incorporating U+18D8 into digital text, it enables more inclusive communication and ensures that Indigenous languages continue to be recognized and respected in the modern world.
