Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐐ has the Unicode code point U+1410. 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+1410 to binary:
00010100 00010000
. 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 10010000 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1410, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WII, is an essential component of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. It is primarily used in digital text to represent a specific phonetic sound within the Cree language and other related languages spoken by Indigenous peoples across Canada. This character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Indigenous culture, literature, and oral traditions by providing an accurate representation of the unique sounds and nuances found in these languages. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script has been widely adopted since its development in the early 20th century, facilitating literacy among Indigenous communities and fostering a sense of cultural identity and pride. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+1410 contributes to global language diversity and supports inclusive communication across various platforms and devices.
