Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣋ has the Unicode code point U+18CB. 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+18CB to binary:
00011000 11001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+18CB, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS OJIBWAY NWO," is a unique character in the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in digital text representation for Canadian Indigenous languages. Specifically, it belongs to the CJK Unified Ideographs extension, which comprises characters from various scripts, including Japanese, Chinese, and Korean characters. The Ojibway NWO (Northwestern Ontario) is one of 13 dialects of the Ojibwe language, an Algonquian language primarily spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada. In digital texts, U+18CB serves as a building block for representing words and sentences in the Ojibway NWO dialect. Its usage allows for the accurate representation of the Ojibwe language's phonetic and orthographic features, facilitating communication among Ojibwe speakers and preserving their linguistic heritage. As a result, U+18CB plays an essential role in supporting Indigenous language revitalization efforts, fostering cultural exchange, and promoting linguistic diversity in the digital realm.
