Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣏ has the Unicode code point U+18CF. 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+18CF to binary:
00011000 11001111. 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 10001111

Description
The character U+18CF, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS RWI (Runic Writing Ink), holds significant cultural and linguistic value in the realm of typography. As part of the Unicode Standard, it serves a crucial role in digital text representation, specifically for Canadian Aboriginal languages that employ syllabics. These languages, such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut, heavily rely on runic writing systems to convey meaning, which makes U+18CF an indispensable character in the preservation and promotion of these linguistic traditions. By accurately depicting the RWI in digital text, U+18CF ensures that Canadian Aboriginal languages maintain their unique scripts and cultural identity in the era of technology. The usage of this character contributes to a broader awareness of Canada's diverse linguistic heritage and fosters communication among Indigenous communities.
