Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐂ has the Unicode code point U+1402. 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+1402 to binary:
00010100 00000010. 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 10010000 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1402 represents the "Canadian Syllabics AAI" (ᐠ), which is a part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This unique writing system consists of 67 characters, primarily used by Indigenous peoples in Canada, particularly among the Cree and other Algonquian-speaking communities. The AAI symbol represents a specific syllable or phoneme, contributing to the construction of words and sentences in these languages. In digital text applications, U+1402 enables accurate representation of traditional Canadian Aboriginal linguistic content while maintaining compatibility with modern computing systems. As a result, this character plays an essential role in preserving and promoting Indigenous cultures and languages through electronic communication and information sharing.
