Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙵ has the Unicode code point U+1675. 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+1675 to binary:
00010110 01110101
. 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 10110101

Description
U+1675 is the Unicode code point for the Canadian Syllabics NNGA character. In digital text, this character is used to represent a specific syllable in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This writing system was developed by missionaries in the early 20th century and has been adapted and expanded upon by Indigenous peoples of Canada, particularly those residing in the Arctic regions. The syllabics are used to write various First Nations languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. Each character represents a unique sound or combination of sounds, allowing for phonetic representation of words in these languages. Despite being largely regional in use, the Canadian Syllabics play an important role in preserving Indigenous culture and language.
