Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘓ has the Unicode code point U+1613. 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+1613 to binary:
00010110 00010011
. 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 10011000 10010011

Description
U+1613 is a character from the Unicode standard that represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER YA" in digital text. This character is crucial for representing the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system, which utilizes a set of phonetic symbols to transcribe spoken language into written form. In this context, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER YA serves as a base element that carries the meaning and sound values of subsequent syllabic characters, similar to how "Y" serves as a carrier in the English alphabet. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system is culturally significant for First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada, as it allows for the representation and preservation of Indigenous languages.
