Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕰ has the Unicode code point U+1570. 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+1570 to binary:
00010101 01110000
. 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 10010101 10110000

Description
U+1570 is the Unicode code point for CANADIAN SYLLABICS TYE, a character primarily used within digital text for representing a specific phoneme in the Cree language, one of the many languages encompassed by the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis populations across Canada. The Cree syllabics were created by missionaries in the 19th century to aid in literacy among Indigenous communities who primarily relied on oral tradition. As part of the Canadian Syllabics, TYE plays a vital role in maintaining cultural heritage and promoting linguistic diversity within these communities. The character is also used in digital typography, particularly in software applications designed for indigenous languages, to ensure accurate representation and communication of these unique scripts.
