Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣓ has the Unicode code point U+18D3. 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+18D3 to binary:
00011000 11010011. 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 10010011

Description
The Unicode character U+18D3, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS RWA," plays a significant role in the representation of the Canadian Indigenous languages. This character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which comprises 620 characters (U+1700 to U+177F) used to represent the written form of various First Nations and Inuit languages across Canada. The syllabic writing system was developed by missionaries in the early 19th century, aiming to translate Christian texts and religious teachings into Indigenous languages. Since then, this script has been adopted and adapted for everyday use, becoming a vital component of Indigenous cultural heritage and language revitalization efforts. U+18D3 specifically represents the RWA syllable, which is used in the Dené, Cree, and other Canadian Aboriginal languages to signify distinct syllables or sounds within these linguistic systems. In digital text, this character enables accurate representation and communication of these important Indigenous languages, fostering cultural preservation and language revitalization.
