Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘫ has the Unicode code point U+162B. 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+162B to binary:
00010110 00101011. 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 10011000 10101011

Description
U+162B Canadian Syllabics Carrier Dlee is a unique character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designed to represent phonetic distinctions within the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian languages of Canada. As part of the Canadian Syllabics block (U+1600-U+167F), it serves as a carrier character in digital text, allowing for additional syllabic combinations to be represented when paired with other characters from this block. In its role as a carrier, U+162B is often combined with vowels and consonants to form complex syllables that are essential to the phonetic structure of these Indigenous languages. The character Dlee (ᒧ) specifically represents a consonant sound in various Algonquian dialects, highlighting the rich cultural, linguistic, and technical context within which it operates.
