Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘩ has the Unicode code point U+1629. 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+1629 to binary:
00010110 00101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+1629, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DLO, is a unique character in the Unicode standard that plays an essential role in digital text representation of Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. This character serves as a carrier for the display of individual syllabic glyphs, enabling the accurate presentation and encoding of the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe, and other indigenous languages of Canada. It is used to combine with other Unicode characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block to represent specific phonemes and words within these linguistic systems. The use of U+1629 in digital text helps preserve and promote Canada's rich cultural heritage, ensuring that future generations can continue to communicate and connect using these traditional languages.
