Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙍ has the Unicode code point U+164D. 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+164D to binary:
00010110 01001101. 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 10001101

Description
The Unicode character U+164D, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DZA, is an essential component in the representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages. Typically used in digital text, this symbol serves as a carrier for the following syllabic characters: "di", "dz", "dza". The use of carriers like U+164D allows for efficient and accurate encoding of the complex phonetic structure found within these languages. As an integral part of Canada's linguistic heritage, the Canadian Syllabics Carrier DZA helps to preserve and promote the rich cultural history and identity of Indigenous communities across the country.
