Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐲ has the Unicode code point U+1432. 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+1432 to binary:
00010100 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+1432, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS PII, is a glyph used in the representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, specifically within the Inuit language. This character plays an essential role in digital text by enabling the accurate representation of spoken sounds and words in these languages, which are not typically covered by the Latin alphabet. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, developed in the early 20th century by missionaries such as Bishop Feild and Dr. John Oliphant, is a phonetic writing system that consists of 43 unique symbols or glyphs, including U+1432. These characters are used to transcribe spoken Inuit language, making communication and documentation more accessible for Indigenous communities in Canada. The use of Unicode character U+1432 ensures that digital content remains accurate and culturally appropriate, providing a vital resource for linguistic preservation and revitalization efforts within these communities.
