Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᣧ has the Unicode code point U+18E7. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+18E7 to binary:
00011000 11100111
. 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 10100111

Description
U+18E7, also known as the Canadian Syllabics TTHAA character, is a vital symbol within the Inuit syllabic writing system. This character plays an essential role in representing phonetic sounds in digital text for the Inuit language, specifically the Tthaa sound. The Inuit syllabics are a unique script that combines elements of both the Latin and Cyrillic alphabets, making it suitable for representing various Inuit languages spoken across Canada's Arctic region. As an essential part of the Canadian Syllabics block in Unicode, U+18E7 contributes to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the indigenous people of Canada by enabling accurate digital representation of their language.
