Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕃ has the Unicode code point U+1543. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1543 to binary:
00010101 01000011
. 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 10010101 10000011

Description
U+1543, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS R-CREE RE character, is a significant figure within digital text as part of the Unicode standard. This character serves an important role in representing a specific phoneme in the Canadian Syllabics writing system, specifically for the R-CREE dialect. The Canadian Syllabics script is primarily used by Indigenous communities across Canada and forms an integral part of their linguistic heritage. Each unique character within this system represents a different syllable or sound, allowing for the accurate transcription and translation of words, phrases, and texts in these languages. In the case of U+1543, its primary usage is to denote a specific syllable when used in the context of R-CREE dialects. Its inclusion within the Unicode standard reflects the importance placed on preserving and promoting linguistic diversity, particularly for Indigenous communities across the globe.
