Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒁ has the Unicode code point U+1481. 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+1481 to binary:
00010100 10000001. 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 10010010 10000001

Description
U+1481, the Canadian Syllabics West-Cree Kwaa character, is an essential element of digital text in the West Cree language, which belongs to the Algonquian family of Indigenous languages spoken primarily in Canada. This Unicode character represents a specific phonetic sound and contributes to the rich linguistic diversity of the Indigenous peoples of North America. In the context of typography and digital communication, U+1481 enables accurate representation and preservation of West Cree's unique syllabic structure for readers and speakers of the language. By facilitating the use of Unicode characters in digital text, it promotes cultural heritage preservation, linguistic research, and cross-cultural understanding.
