Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙳ has the Unicode code point U+1673. 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+1673 to binary:
00010110 01110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+1673, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNGO, is a specialized character in the Unicode standard primarily utilized within digital text for its specific role in the Cree language. The Cree language is an Aboriginal language spoken predominantly in Canada and has been recognized by UNESCO as part of the world's linguistic heritage. CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNGO, along with other characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+1670 to U+169F), represents phonetic units or syllables in the Cree writing system, which was developed by Catholic missionaries in the early 20th century. This unique script allows for a more accurate representation of the spoken language, enabling literacy and communication among its speakers. Despite being less widely known than other writing systems, CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNGO plays an important role in preserving and promoting the Cree language and culture.
