Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐅ has the Unicode code point U+1405. 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+1405 to binary:
00010100 00000101. 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 10010000 10000101

Description
The character U+1405 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS O) is an essential symbol in the Canadian Syllabics Unicode block. It plays a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the context of the Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Inuktitut, and Ojibwe. This character serves as a phonetic building block for these languages, representing individual syllables or sound segments. The use of Canadian Syllabics characters, including U+1405, helps preserve the rich linguistic heritage of Indigenous communities while also facilitating communication and literacy in these languages. As an expert in typography and Unicode, it is vital to recognize the significance of U+1405 and other Canadian Syllabics characters in promoting cultural diversity and supporting linguistic revitalization efforts across Canada.
