Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣑ has the Unicode code point U+18D1. 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+18D1 to binary:
00011000 11010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+18D1, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS RWO," is a critical element in the representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages, particularly those within the Algonquian language family. This character serves a vital role in digital text by facilitating accurate and standardized encoding for these languages, which rely on a unique syllabic writing system. The use of U+18D1 allows for more precise communication and documentation in these linguistic traditions, preserving an essential aspect of Canadian cultural heritage. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard ensures that digital texts can remain faithful to their original intent while maintaining compatibility across different devices, platforms, and applications. As a result, U+18D1 plays a crucial part in the ongoing efforts to support and promote Indigenous languages and cultures within Canada and globally.
