Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑳ has the Unicode code point U+1473. 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+1473 to binary:
00010100 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
The Unicode character U+1473, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS KAA, holds a significant role in the digital representation of written language, specifically within the realm of Indigenous Canadian languages. This character is part of a larger set of characters that make up the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+1470 to U+14FF), which was added to Unicode version 3.0 in 1999 to provide support for writing systems used by various Indigenous peoples of Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut among others. The Canadian Syllabics KAA character is utilized to represent a unique phoneme or sound in these languages and contributes to the accuracy and integrity of digital texts that use these writing systems.
