Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑨ has the Unicode code point U+1468. 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+1468 to binary:
00010100 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+1468, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS TTI," is an essential element within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding set. It plays a critical role in digital text by representing specific sounds in the Indigenous languages of Canada. These languages, predominantly spoken by First Nations people, are based on a syllabic writing system developed by missionary and educator Rev. James Evans in the early 19th century. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encompass a wide range of dialects and languages from various Indigenous communities across Canada, making U+1468 an indispensable tool for preserving and promoting linguistic diversity. Today, it is commonly used in digital platforms, educational materials, and cultural resources to ensure the accuracy and continuation of traditional expressions within these unique languages.
