Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙥ has the Unicode code point U+1665. 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+1665 to binary:
00010110 01100101. 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 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+1665, also known as the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier Chi", plays a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages. This unique typographical element is used to depict the sound "chi" or "ch" in Cree and other Canadian Indigenous languages that utilize the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script system. This script was developed by missionaries during the late 19th century to facilitate communication and literacy among these communities. The Canadian Syllabics Carrier Chi character is an essential component in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Indigenous peoples, fostering a sense of cultural identity and pride. In digital text, U+1665 allows for accurate representation and transmission of these languages across various platforms, contributing to the ongoing evolution of inclusive typography that respects and honors diverse linguistic traditions.
