Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙴ has the Unicode code point U+1674. 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+1674 to binary:
00010110 01110100
. 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 10110100

Description
U+1674 is a Unicode character representing the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNGOO" symbol (𝚞). As part of the Canadian Syllabics block, it serves as a crucial component in digital text for rendering written content within the Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Ojibwe and Cree. This unique set of characters allows for accurate representation and transmission of these important linguistic systems, which are deeply rooted in the cultural heritage and history of the First Nations communities across Canada. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS NNGOO symbol, along with other characters within this block, contributes to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages that have been historically marginalized or at risk of disappearing. As a result, it holds significant cultural and linguistic value, while also serving a technical purpose in enabling clear communication and understanding for speakers of these distinct languages.
