Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕈ has the Unicode code point U+1548. 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+1548 to binary:
00010101 01001000
. 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 10001000

Description
The Unicode character U+1548, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS RO, is a unique symbol used primarily in digital text. It holds significant importance within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding standard, which comprises 21 characters and is utilized for written communication among Indigenous peoples in Canada. This set of symbols was developed by missionaries in the early 19th century to facilitate translation work and has since evolved into an essential tool for linguistic preservation and revitalization efforts. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS RO character, in particular, is crucial for representing specific syllables in this script. In terms of cultural, linguistic, and technical contexts, U+1548 contributes to the rich tapestry of Canada's multicultural heritage by serving as a vital component of Indigenous language expression and communication in digital spaces.
