Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑂ has the Unicode code point U+1442. 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+1442 to binary:
00010100 01000010. 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 10010001 10000010

Description
The Unicode character U+1442, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS PWOO," is a crucial symbol in digital text representation for the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. This writing system, utilized primarily by the Indigenous peoples of Canada such as the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuit, and other First Nations, enables efficient communication in their respective languages. Each character in this system represents a specific phoneme or sound unit, allowing for a compact yet comprehensive representation of spoken language. The PWOO glyph specifically represents a combination of sounds: 'p', 'w', and 'oo' in the Cree language. In digital contexts, U+1442 is widely used for encoding and displaying textual content accurately across various platforms, applications, and devices, thus preserving linguistic heritage and promoting cultural diversity on a global scale.
