Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘨ has the Unicode code point U+1628. 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+1628 to binary:
00010110 00101000. 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 10101000

Description
U+1628, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DLU, is a specific character within the Unicode standard, which plays a significant role in digital text encoding. The Canadian Syllabics Carrier DLU, as its name suggests, serves as a carrier for the individual syllables of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabic writing system. This writing system is used predominantly by First Nations communities in Canada and is a phonetic script, meaning each symbol represents a specific sound or syllable. The character U+1628 is part of a larger set of characters used to encode text in this system, and it is particularly important for the accurate representation of digital texts in the Canadian Aboriginal languages. In terms of linguistic and cultural context, the use of CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DLU is vital for preserving and promoting indigenous Canadian languages, which are part of the rich linguistic diversity of North America.
