Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐁ has the Unicode code point U+1401. 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+1401 to binary:
00010100 00000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1401, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS E, is a vital symbol within the Canadian Syllabics block of characters, which consists of 54 symbols representing distinct sounds used in various indigenous languages across Canada. This specific character holds importance in digital text communication for speakers of the Cree language, as it represents the phonetic sound 'e.' The use of these syllabic characters enables the accurate representation and transmission of oral traditions, storytelling, and daily communication within these communities. In addition to their linguistic significance, Canadian Syllabics have also been used in educational settings to teach reading and writing skills among Indigenous children, fostering cultural preservation and revitalization.
