Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐧ has the Unicode code point U+1427. 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+1427 to binary:
00010100 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+1427, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS FINAL MIDDLE DOT," serves a vital role in digital text by representing a specific phonetic element within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This character is utilized to mark final middle consonants in Cree and other similar Indigenous languages of North America, thus facilitating accurate pronunciation and comprehension for speakers of these languages. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script was developed by missionaries in the late 19th century as an orthographic system for teaching reading and writing to Indigenous children, and has since evolved into a widely-used writing system in various First Nations communities across Canada. In digital contexts, U+1427 contributes significantly to preserving and promoting Indigenous linguistic heritage, fostering cultural identity, and enhancing communication within these communities.
