Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣠ has the Unicode code point U+18E0. 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+18E0 to binary:
00011000 11100000. 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 10100000

Description
U+18E0, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS R-CREE RWE character, is a unique glyph in Unicode's extensive typographic repertoire. It plays a vital role in digital text by representing a specific phoneme in the R-Cree language, which is one of the 10 dialects of the Cree language spoken predominantly in Canada. This dialect, like other Canadian Aboriginal languages, has a rich oral tradition and relies heavily on syllabic writing systems to preserve its cultural heritage. In the digital realm, U+18E0 allows for accurate representation and communication of R-Cree language, enabling speakers and learners to engage with literature, linguistic resources, and digital media in their own language. By accurately representing this phoneme, U+18E0 contributes to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages, fostering cultural diversity and linguistic inclusivity online.
