Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙲ has the Unicode code point U+1672. 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+1672 to binary:
00010110 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+1672 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNGII) is a character from the Unicode standard, specifically from the Canadian Syllabics block. This glyph represents the sound "ngii" in the Inuktitut language, which is spoken predominantly in Canada's Arctic regions by the Inuit people. In digital text, U+1672 serves as a phonetic representation of this specific consonant-vowel sequence in Inuktitut syllabics. The Canadian Syllabics script was developed in the 19th century by missionaries to facilitate the translation of religious texts and has since become an integral part of the Inuit and First Nations cultures in Canada. Today, U+1672 and other characters from the Canadian Syllabics block are widely used for digital communication, education, and cultural preservation among Indigenous communities in Canada. As a result, U+1672 plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic diversity and supporting the expressive needs of these communities.
