Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣇ has the Unicode code point U+18C7. 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+18C7 to binary:
00011000 11000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+18C7 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS OJIBWAY NWI) is a character from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of Unicode, specifically within the Ojibway subblock. This character is primarily used in digital text for representing the Ojibwe language, which is spoken by the Ojibwa people in North America. The use of U+18C7 in digital text serves to maintain linguistic and cultural integrity by providing a standardized representation for this indigenous language. The character is essential for promoting literacy and education in Ojibwe communities, as well as facilitating communication and preserving the rich cultural heritage associated with this language. In technical terms, U+18C7 is part of the Ojibway script, which consists of 25 characters, each representing a unique phoneme or sound. This syllabic writing system was developed by missionaries in the early 19th century to transcribe the Ojibwe language and has since evolved to better serve its intended purpose. Today, U+18C7 and other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters continue to play a vital role in fostering cultural pride and language revitalization efforts among indigenous communities across Canada.
