Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙣ has the Unicode code point U+1663. 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+1663 to binary:
00010110 01100011. 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 10100011

Description
U+1663 is the Unicode character code for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER CHE". In digital text, this character serves as a carrier in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding scheme. The purpose of the carrier characters is to separate syllable blocks when they occur within a single word or phrase. This allows for more accurate and efficient storage and retrieval of text data in this unique writing system. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics is an essential part of Canada's linguistic heritage, representing various Indigenous languages of the region. It has played a crucial role in preserving and promoting these languages, facilitating communication among Indigenous communities, and enabling the transmission of cultural knowledge across generations.
