Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐠ has the Unicode code point U+1420. 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+1420 to binary:
00010100 00100000. 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 10100000

Description
The Unicode character U+1420, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS FINAL GRAVE, is a critical component in digital text representing the Canadian Syllabics script. This script is primarily used for writing Indigenous languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut, which are widely spoken across Canada. U+1420 serves as a final glyph that modifies the sound value of the preceding character in a syllabic unit, specifically denoting a grave tone or downward intonation. By accurately conveying these tonal distinctions, this character contributes to the richness and nuance of the Indigenous languages it represents. In addition to its cultural importance, U+1420 plays a significant role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and transcription of Canadian Indigenous languages for communication, education, and preservation purposes.
