Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒉ has the Unicode code point U+1489. 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+1489 to binary:
00010100 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+1489, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CE, is a character within the Unicode standard that serves a crucial role in digital text representation. This character belongs to the group of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, which are used primarily for written communication among the Indigenous peoples of Canada, particularly in the regions of the Northwest Territories and Nunavut. The syllabics system is based on a set of 21 phonetic symbols that represent the consonants and vowels of the Inuktitut language. The character U+1489 specifically represents a specific sound in the Inuktitut language, which has been adapted from the Roman script to the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics for better representation of Indigenous languages' phonetic properties. This adaptation allows speakers of these languages to read and write more effectively using their native scripts. The use of U+1489 in digital text contributes significantly to preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Canada's Indigenous communities. In summary, U+1489 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CE) is a vital character within the Unicode standard that plays a critical role in representing the Inuktitut language using Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. Its usage helps maintain and promote the linguistic identity of Indigenous peoples in Canada, thus preserving their cultural heritage.
