Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑓ has the Unicode code point U+1453. 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+1453 to binary:
00010100 01010011. 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 10010001 10010011

Description
The character U+1453, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DEE, holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages. This typographical element serves as a carrier for other characters in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, which is primarily utilized by the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities throughout Canada. The syllabic script was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate literacy among Indigenous peoples who spoke various Algonquian languages. U+1453 helps accommodate the unique phonetic structure of these languages by connecting and supporting the other characters, enabling efficient communication and preservation of cultural identity through written expression. As a vital component of digital text in Canadian Aboriginal languages, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DEE contributes to the ongoing documentation and revitalization of Indigenous linguistic heritage.
