Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒑ has the Unicode code point U+1491. 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+1491 to binary:
00010100 10010001. 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 10010010 10010001

Description
The character U+1491, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CAA, is a crucial component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding system. This system is primarily used for written communication in various Indigenous languages across Canada, particularly in the Inuit and First Nations communities. In digital text, U+1491 serves as a phonetic building block within these linguistic frameworks, representing a specific sound or syllable. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics system is an adaptation of the Latin alphabet, designed by missionary James Evans in 1836 to transcribe the Cree language. Over time, this script has been expanded and adapted for use with other Indigenous languages across Canada. U+1491 is particularly notable for its role within the Dene and Inuktitut languages, where it contributes to the unique phonological features of these distinct linguistic traditions. In terms of technical context, U+1491 is part of the Unicode Standard, a coding system that assigns unique code points to every character used in written communication worldwide. The Unicode Standard aims to facilitate accurate and reliable digital representation of text across different languages, scripts, and platforms. As such, characters like U+1491 are essential for preserving linguistic diversity and promoting multilingual support in the digital realm.
