Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙤ has the Unicode code point U+1664. 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+1664 to binary:
00010110 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
U+1664 is a character from the Unicode standard, representing the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier Chee" in digital text. This specific symbol plays a significant role within the Canadian Indigenous languages, specifically within the Cree language. In this context, it acts as a carrier or delimiter used to separate syllables in the Cree orthography system. U+1664 is essential for maintaining proper linguistic structure and coherence when transcribing or translating the Cree language in digital formats. While this particular character may not be widely used outside of its specific cultural and linguistic context, it remains an important tool for those studying or working with Canadian Indigenous languages, contributing to a more inclusive and diverse digital landscape that respects and preserves indigenous cultures and histories.
