Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙷ has the Unicode code point U+1677. 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+1677 to binary:
00010110 01110111. 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 10011001 10110111

Description
U+1677, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WOODS-CREE THWEE, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents a specific phonetic element within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is used predominantly by First Nations people in Canada for various linguistic and cultural purposes, including literature, signage, and digital communication. The character U+1677 is integral to the Woods Cree language, which is part of the larger Inuit-Yupik-Cree branch of the Algic language family. Its primary role in digital text is to facilitate accurate representation of the phonetic structure of the Woods Cree language in written form. By accurately representing the sounds and elements of this distinct language, U+1677 helps preserve the cultural heritage and linguistic identity of the Canadian Aboriginal communities that utilize it. In summary, U+1677 is an essential component of the digital representation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, specifically for the Woods Cree language, serving as a vital tool for cultural preservation and communication within indigenous communities in Canada.
