Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣐ has the Unicode code point U+18D0. 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+18D0 to binary:
00011000 11010000. 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 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+18D0 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS RWII) plays a significant role in the representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages within digital text. It is part of the larger set of Canadian Syllabics, which were developed in the 1940s by missionaries to translate religious texts into Indigenous languages. The character RWII specifically represents a consonant-vowel sequence found in these languages, enabling accurate representation of their phonetic and phonological properties. In modern digital communication, U+18D0 facilitates the preservation and promotion of Canada's Indigenous linguistic heritage by allowing for the authentic expression of these languages online. This is crucial for both linguistic research and cultural maintenance, as it ensures that these languages can be shared, learned, and passed down through generations.
