Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘬ has the Unicode code point U+162C. 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+162C to binary:
00010110 00101100. 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 10101100

Description
U+162C, also known as the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DLI, is a crucial character in digital text that plays an essential role in the representation of the Canadian Indigenous languages. This Unicode character serves as a carrier for the 32 characters of the Cree syllabics block, enabling accurate digital encoding and display of these vital Indigenous languages. The Cree syllabics system is a writing system developed by missionaries in the 1940s to facilitate literacy among the Cree-speaking communities, and it has since expanded to serve other Canadian Indigenous languages. U+162C's presence in digital text ensures that these unique linguistic systems can be preserved, shared, and taught for future generations, fostering cultural preservation and language revitalization efforts across Canada.
