Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢿ has the Unicode code point U+18BF. 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+18BF to binary:
00011000 10111111. 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 10100010 10111111

Description
U+18BF, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAY, is a typographic character that plays a significant role in the representation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system. In digital text, this character serves to depict specific phonetic sounds within the syllabic structure of the language, which is predominantly used by Indigenous peoples across Canada, particularly in the regions of the Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian-speaking communities. The character forms part of a broader set of typographic symbols aimed at preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of these communities. Its accurate usage is essential for maintaining cultural integrity and ensuring effective communication within these linguistic groups.
