Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑦ has the Unicode code point U+1466. 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+1466 to binary:
00010100 01100110. 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 10100110

Description
The Unicode character U+1466, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS T, is a unique glyph within the CJK Unified Ideographs extension of the Unicode standard. Its primary role in digital text is to represent one of the 21 consonants found in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, which is an essential component of the written form of several First Nations languages across Canada. This script, developed by missionaries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, serves as a practical writing system for these indigenous communities, facilitating communication, education, and cultural preservation. Although its usage is relatively limited, U+1466 plays a vital role in maintaining linguistic diversity and showcasing the rich cultural heritage of Canada's Aboriginal peoples.
