Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙢ has the Unicode code point U+1662. 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+1662 to binary:
00010110 01100010. 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 10100010

Description
U+1662 is the Unicode character for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER CHO". This character plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a carrier for other characters within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 59 distinct Indigenous languages spoken across Canada. The syllabic script was developed in the early 20th century by missionaries and linguists to facilitate literacy among the Indigenous populations, especially in remote areas where printing presses were not easily accessible. U+1662 is utilized to combine with other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters, enabling users to create and display text in these languages accurately and effectively on digital platforms. The use of U+1662 and the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block contributes to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous cultures and languages in Canada and beyond.
