Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑖ has the Unicode code point U+1456. 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+1456 to binary:
00010100 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1456 represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS TAA". This character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block within the Unicode Standard, which includes characters used to represent the phonetic alphabet of the Cree, Ojibwa, and other First Nations languages in Canada. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are a set of 75 distinct characters that allow for the representation of both consonants and vowels, enabling the writing of words, sentences, and even complex texts. The use of U+1456 in digital text allows for accurate translation, transcription, and communication within these indigenous communities, preserving their linguistic heritage. Although not widely used outside of these communities, its inclusion in the Unicode Standard is a significant step towards supporting and promoting indigenous languages and cultures globally.
