Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙹ has the Unicode code point U+1679. 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+1679 to binary:
00010110 01111001. 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 10111001

Description
U+1679, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS WOODS-CREE THWII character, is a significant symbol in digital text for the Canadian Aboriginal languages. It primarily serves as a crucial component in the Woods Cree language, which is part of the larger group of Canadian Syllabics. This character system was developed in the early 19th century by missionaries like James Evans and George Heron to transcribe the Cree and other Plains Aboriginal languages using the Roman alphabet. The U+1679 THWII represents a specific sound or phoneme, contributing to the formation of words in the Woods Cree language. In addition to its linguistic role, the character is also a valuable tool for preserving and promoting Indigenous Canadian heritage, fostering cultural understanding and appreciation. Due to its unique nature and historical significance, the U+1679 THWII has become an essential element of digital text, reflecting the rich linguistic diversity of Canada's Aboriginal communities.
