Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙈ has the Unicode code point U+1648. 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+1648 to binary:
00010110 01001000
. 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 10011001 10001000

Description
The character U+1648 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DZU) is a critical element within the Unicode standard, specifically in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This specific code point serves as a carrier for the syllable 'dzu', a fundamental component of various Cree and Ojibwe words. In digital text applications, it enables accurate representation and communication of these Indigenous languages, which are central to cultural identity and heritage in Canada. The utilization of U+1648 showcases respect and recognition for the linguistic diversity of this region's Aboriginal communities, while also fostering a more inclusive and comprehensive digital landscape.
