Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐆ has the Unicode code point U+1406. 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+1406 to binary:
00010100 00000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+1406, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS OO, is an essential component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block in digital text. This character plays a significant role in representing the phonetic alphabet used by various Indigenous peoples in Canada, such as the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other First Nations languages. The syllabics alphabet system has been widely utilized for more than a century to facilitate reading and writing among these linguistic communities. U+1406 contributes to maintaining cultural identity and linguistic heritage by enabling accurate communication in these diverse Indigenous languages. It is also instrumental in the development of digital applications, such as translation tools and language learning resources, which cater to the needs of these communities while promoting inclusivity and diversity in written communication.
