Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣕ has the Unicode code point U+18D5. 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+18D5 to binary:
00011000 11010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+18D5, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS OJIBWAY T, is a character within the Unicode Standard that holds a significant role in digital text, particularly for the Indigenous languages of Canada. It represents a unique sound or phoneme in the Ojibway language, which belongs to the Algonquian family of Native American languages. The usage of this character is crucial in transcribing and preserving the oral tradition and cultural heritage of the Ojibway-speaking communities. As part of the Canadian Syllabics block (U+18D0–U+18FF), it contributes to the accurate representation of Indigenous languages on digital platforms, which is essential for education, documentation, and communication purposes. The presence of U+18D5 in digital text underscores the ongoing efforts to recognize, support, and revitalize Indigenous languages in Canada and beyond.
