Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑣ has the Unicode code point U+1463. 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+1463 to binary:
00010100 01100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+1463, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS TWAA, is a character from the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in digital text, specifically in the representation of the Canadian Aboriginal languages. This character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+1400 to U+167F) which encompasses 285 characters used for writing various Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other Aboriginal languages across Canada. The TWAA syllable represents a sound or phoneme in these languages and plays a crucial role in transcribing and preserving the linguistic richness of these First Nations' oral traditions. Due to its cultural and historical relevance, CANADIAN SYLLABICS TWAA has become an essential element for digital text that aims to preserve, promote, or study Indigenous languages of Canada.
