Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣍ has the Unicode code point U+18CD. 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+18CD to binary:
00011000 11001101
. 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 10001101

Description
U+18CD, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS OJIBWAY NWOO, is a character from the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in digital text representation, specifically within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character belongs to the Ojibway language, which is part of the Algonquian family and spoken by various Indigenous communities across Canada. The NWOO component represents a syllable, serving as the fundamental building block in constructing words in the Ojibway language. In digital communication and text processing, U+18CD enables the accurate representation and preservation of traditional knowledge, linguistic identity, and cultural heritage within electronic documents, websites, and software applications, thus fostering a better understanding and appreciation for Indigenous languages and their rich history.
