Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙰ has the Unicode code point U+1670. 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+1670 to binary:
00010110 01110000. 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 10011001 10110000

Description
U+1670, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NGAI, is a character primarily used in digital text to represent the phoneme /ŋ/ in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script, developed by missionaries in the 19th century, serves as a written representation for various Algonquian languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuktitut. CANADIAN SYLLABICS NGAI holds significant cultural importance, as it enables the preservation and communication of Indigenous languages in Canada. Its inclusion in digital text facilitates the exchange of information between speakers of these languages and ensures that their linguistic heritage is not lost.
