Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐃ has the Unicode code point U+1403. 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+1403 to binary:
00010100 00000011. 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 10000011

Description
The Unicode character U+1403, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS I," is a fundamental component of the written form of the Inuktitut language, spoken primarily by Indigenous peoples in Canada, particularly in the territory of Nunavut. This character serves a crucial role in digital text by representing one of the 21 Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block characters, enabling effective communication and preservation of cultural identity for these communities. Inuktitut is an agglutinative language, meaning that it forms complex words by combining smaller units or syllables, which are represented by distinct characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. U+1403 and other characters within this block are essential for accurately transcribing the unique phonetic and morphological structure of Inuktitut, thereby supporting linguistic diversity and fostering cultural preservation.
