Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐰ has the Unicode code point U+1430. 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+1430 to binary:
00010100 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
U+1430 is the Unicode character code for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS PAAI". This character plays a significant role in digital text by representing one of 21 individual characters within the Canadian Syllabics block. These characters are essential to the representation and preservation of the Canadian Indigenous languages, specifically those that use the Cree, Ojibwe (or Chippewa), Inuktitut, and Mi'kmaq writing systems. The use of these characters is crucial in maintaining linguistic diversity and cultural identity among Indigenous communities in Canada. Despite its importance, this character and others like it are often underused due to technical limitations in various digital platforms and fonts. As a result, there is an ongoing need for the development of more comprehensive support systems for Canadian Syllabics within software applications, websites, and other digital spaces.
