Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐟ has the Unicode code point U+141F. 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+141F to binary:
00010100 00011111
. 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 10011111

Description
U+141F, the Canadian Syllabics Final Acute character, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the realm of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. This Unicode character is used to denote the final acute accent in the 28-character Canadian Aboriginal syllabary, which consists of symbols representing distinct consonants and vowels that can be combined to form syllables in various Indigenous languages of Canada. The syllabic writing system is essential for preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. It has been widely adopted in Canadian Indigenous education systems to facilitate literacy development and ensure language revitalization efforts. The U+141F character's accurate representation in digital text aids in fostering greater appreciation for Canada's diverse linguistic landscape and contributes to the continued evolution of Indigenous language resources.
