Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑛ has the Unicode code point U+145B. 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+145B to binary:
00010100 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The character U+145B, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS TWII, is a crucial part of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. This unique script was developed in the 19th century by missionaries to transcribe the Indigenous languages of Canada, primarily Cree, Ojibwe, and Mi'kmaq. The character Twii (U+145B) holds a significant role in representing syllables within these languages. Its usage in digital text is essential for preserving linguistic diversity and cultural identity. The use of this character also contributes to the promotion of Indigenous rights, as it enables accurate representation and communication in these languages both online and offline.
