Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐷ has the Unicode code point U+1437. 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+1437 to binary:
00010100 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+1437 is a character in the Unicode standard that represents CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER HI (ᑫ). As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, this character serves as a carrier for syllabic characters used in the writing system for various Indigenous languages in Canada. In digital text, U+1437 functions as a space-like element, connecting individual syllabic glyphs to form words and sentences in Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other First Nations' languages. Its role is crucial for the proper representation of these linguistic systems, which have a rich cultural history and are currently spoken by millions of people across Canada. The use of CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER HI and other characters in the Unicode standard helps preserve and promote Indigenous languages, fostering a greater understanding of their unique phonology, morphology, and syntax within linguistic and cultural contexts.
