Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔧ has the Unicode code point U+1527. 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+1527 to binary:
00010101 00100111
. 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 10010100 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+1527, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS YAAI, holds a significant position in the realm of digital text. It is primarily utilized within the context of the Canadian Syllabics script, which belongs to the family of abugidas and serves as a system of writing for certain Algonquian languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, and Michif. Each character in this syllabary represents a syllable or phoneme rather than a full word or phrase, thereby aiding readers to quickly recognize the pronunciation and meaning. CANADIAN SYLLABICS YAAI is one of 32 characters introduced in Unicode version 4.0 (1997) specifically to meet the needs of these Indigenous languages, thus promoting linguistic preservation and cultural expression among their native speakers. In its technical context, U+1527 maintains a unique code point within the character range, enabling accurate processing and rendering in digital environments such as websites, software applications, and mobile devices.
