Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣛ has the Unicode code point U+18DB. 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+18DB to binary:
00011000 11011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+18DB is a character from the Unicode Standard, representing "Canadian Syllabics Ojibway Sh." It plays a crucial role in digital text as part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which comprises 56 characters. These syllabic characters are used to represent the Ojibwe language, also known as Anishinaabe, which is one of the Algonquian languages spoken by the Ojibwe people in North America. The Ojibwe writing system, derived from the historical syllabics devised by missionary James Evans in 1840, has been instrumental in preserving and promoting Indigenous culture and communication. In digital text, U+18DB helps maintain the accuracy of linguistic content for users who communicate or study Ojibwe language and culture.
