Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑑ has the Unicode code point U+1451. 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+1451 to binary:
00010100 01010001
. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1451 is a symbol from the Canadian Syllabics block, representing the phonetic value 'Too' in the Cree language. This script is primarily used for writing indigenous languages of North America, specifically the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other related languages. U+1451 plays a crucial role in digital text by enabling accurate communication and documentation within these communities, preserving their linguistic heritage and cultural identity. The character is also essential for linguists, researchers, and educators working with Indigenous languages of the Americas, as it facilitates proper transcription and analysis. In terms of technical context, U+1451 belongs to the Unicode Standard, which aims to provide a unique code point for every character, symbol, or glyph in use across the world's writing systems. This ensures that digital texts remain accurate, reliable, and accessible across different platforms and applications.
