Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑥ has the Unicode code point U+1465. 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+1465 to binary:
00010100 01100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+1465 is a Canadian Syllabics Naskapi Twa character in the Unicode standard. This character is mainly used in digital text to represent the phoneme /twa/ in the Naskapi language, which is spoken by the Naskapi people of Quebec, Canada. The Naskapi syllabic writing system was created by Reverend James Evans in the early 19th century and is based on a combination of Cree and English alphabets. In this system, each character represents a syllable rather than a phoneme or a letter, making it particularly suitable for the Naskapi language, which has a relatively small number of phonemes but many syllables. The digital usage of U+1465 helps preserve and promote the cultural heritage of the Naskapi people by enabling accurate transcription and communication in their language through various digital platforms and applications.
