Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙺ has the Unicode code point U+167A. 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+167A to binary:
00010110 01111010. 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 10111010

Description
The Unicode character U+167A, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS WOODS-CREE THWO," plays a significant role in digital text representation, specifically within the Canadian Syllabics block. This character is used to represent the "thwo" sound in the Woods Cree dialect, which is one of the 16 dialects of the Cree language, an Indigenous language primarily spoken by the Cree people in Canada. The Unicode Standard, established in 1991, ensures accurate and consistent encoding of characters from different languages and scripts, making it crucial for digital text representation. In the context of Woods Cree, U+167A helps maintain cultural identity, supports linguistic research, and aids in language preservation efforts. As a part of the Canadian Syllabics block, U+167A is essential for proper transcription and communication within the Cree community and beyond.
