Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᐇ has the Unicode code point U+1407. 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+1407 to binary:
00010100 00000111
. 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 10000111

Description
The Unicode character U+1407, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS Y-CREE OO, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a phonetic unit within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This script is used to write Cree, an indigenous language spoken primarily in Canada. U+1407 specifically represents the combination of the syllabic "Y" and the vowel "OO." The character's usage is essential for accurate transcription and communication within the Cree-speaking communities. It contributes to preserving and promoting indigenous languages, which are an important aspect of cultural identity and heritage in Canada.
