Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔇ has the Unicode code point U+1507. 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+1507 to binary:
00010101 00000111
. 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 10010100 10000111

Description
U+1507, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS SW, is a typographical character that plays a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system. This writing system represents a diverse range of Indigenous languages spoken across Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. U+1507 contributes to the accurate representation of these languages' unique phonological and syllabic structures in digital environments, thus facilitating communication and cultural preservation among Canadian Indigenous communities. The character is a vital component of efforts to revitalize and maintain these languages, which are part of the rich cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples in Canada.
