Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖐ has the Unicode code point U+1590. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1590 to binary:
00010101 10010000
. 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 10010110 10010000

Description
The character U+1590, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NGII, is a crucial element within the realm of digital typography, specifically in relation to the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is utilized predominantly by Indigenous communities across Canada for the purposes of written communication, cultural preservation, and educational activities. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS NGII character is a fundamental component in constructing words within this unique writing system, which is based on a syllabic structure rather than an alphabetic one. This intricate system employs individual characters to represent specific phonemes, or sounds, enabling the precise rendering of spoken language in written form. In digital text, U+1590 serves as an essential building block for constructing a vast array of distinct words within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, thus playing a pivotal role in facilitating communication and fostering cultural preservation among Indigenous communities across Canada.
