Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙱ has the Unicode code point U+1671. 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+1671 to binary:
00010110 01110001. 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 10110001

Description
U+1671, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNGI, is a character within the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation, specifically within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics set. This set of characters was developed to represent the oral languages of various Indigenous communities across Canada. The use of these symbols allows for the accurate and respectful representation of Indigenous languages in digital contexts, supporting both linguistic preservation and cultural expression. In typography, U+1671 is one of a set of characters that make up the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding, which consists of 87 characters designed to represent phonemes specific to these languages. Each character in this set represents either a consonant or vowel sound and combines with other syllabic characters to form words and sentences. The use of Unicode ensures that digital text using these symbols can be accurately displayed, transmitted, and interpreted across various platforms and devices, making it an essential tool for the preservation and advancement of Indigenous languages in the digital age.
