Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣚ has the Unicode code point U+18DA. 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+18DA to binary:
00011000 11011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+18DA, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS OJIBWAY S character, is a vital glyph within the Unicode system, playing a critical role in digital text representation for Indigenous languages in Canada. This specific syllabic character, belonging to the Ojibway writing system, represents a unique sound or phoneme when used in text. The Ojibway language, also known as Anishinaabemowin, is part of the Algonquian family of languages, spoken by the Ojibwe and other First Nations peoples living in Canada and the United States. As Unicode seeks to include a comprehensive range of characters from diverse scripts and languages for accurate digital text representation, U+18DA's inclusion reflects a commitment to preserving and celebrating linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.
