Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖖ has the Unicode code point U+1596. 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+1596 to binary:
00010101 10010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1596, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNG, plays a significant role in the representation of the First Nations languages in Canada. As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+1700 to U+171F), this character is used to depict specific phonemes in these indigenous languages. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were designed by missionaries and educators in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to create a writing system for the Cree, Ojibwe, and other similar languages. These characters are essential for promoting cultural preservation, language revitalization, and education in these communities. U+1596 is specifically used to represent the phoneme sequence "ng" when it occurs at the end of a syllable block. The precise usage of this character may vary depending on the specific language within the broad category of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. In conclusion, U+1596 contributes to preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of Canada's First Nations peoples.
