Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙡ has the Unicode code point U+1661. 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+1661 to binary:
00010110 01100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1661 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER CHU" (᛫) in digital text. It serves as a connector or separator for characters within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, facilitating the organization and readability of this unique writing system. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics were developed in the 1940s to promote literacy among Indigenous communities in Canada, particularly in the areas of Northern Ontario and Western Canada. These characters are an important aspect of cultural preservation and language revitalization efforts for these communities. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER CHU specifically functions as a syllabic separator, helping to maintain the intended phonetic structure when these characters are used in digital texts or software that supports the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding scheme.
