Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐡ has the Unicode code point U+1421. 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+1421 to binary:
00010100 00100001. 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 10100001

Description
The character U+1421, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS FINAL BOTTOM HALF RING, is an important component of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This unique writing system was developed in the early 20th century to facilitate literacy among First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada. U+1421 serves as a final consonant indicator in this phonetic script, denoting the final sound in a word or syllable. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics system is widely used in education, cultural preservation, and community communication within Indigenous populations of Canada, making U+1421 an essential character for maintaining linguistic heritage and promoting understanding between diverse cultures.
