Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑲ has the Unicode code point U+1472. 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+1472 to binary:
00010100 01110010. 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 10010001 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+1472 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS KA" symbol (ᐪ). It is a part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of characters used in written Cree, Ojibwa, Inuktitut, and other Indigenous languages of Canada. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are essential for maintaining and preserving these indigenous languages and their associated cultures. U+1472 is typically used in digital text to transcribe phonetic or syllabic values, facilitating communication among speakers of these languages. Its significance lies not only in its linguistic role but also in promoting cultural awareness and understanding of Indigenous heritage.
