Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character แ has the Unicode code point U+1598. 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+1598 to binary:
00010101 10011000
. 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 10010110 10011000

Description
U+1598 is the Unicode code point for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAYISI SHI" (๐), a character from the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of typographical symbols. This particular symbol represents the sound "shi" in the Innu language, which is part of the larger family of Algonquian languages spoken by Indigenous peoples in Northern America. The use of these syllabic characters allows for more accurate and efficient representation of Indigenous oral languages in digital text, facilitating communication and preservation of these linguistic traditions.
