Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᢳ has the Unicode code point U+18B3. 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+18B3 to binary:
00011000 10110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+18B3 is a character in the Canadian Syllabics block of Unicode, which is specifically designed for representing syllables in the Indigenous languages of Canada. The character, CANADIAN SYLLABICS WAY (U+18B3), is part of the 49th series of these symbols, each of which represents a different syllable in the Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian languages. Its typical usage in digital text involves encoding the syllabic sound represented by this character when transcribing or translating texts from the oral tradition of these Indigenous cultures into written form. The Canadian Syllabics block is an essential part of preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Canada's First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. It serves as a significant tool in language revitalization efforts and contributes to the ongoing cultural renaissance within these communities.
