Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙊ has the Unicode code point U+164A. 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+164A to binary:
00010110 01001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+164A represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DZE" in digital text. This character is a carrier character used in the Canadian Syllabics encoding, which encompasses the written languages of various Indigenous peoples across Canada. It serves as an essential element to facilitate the representation of the complex syllabic structure in these languages, enabling their accurate and efficient portrayal in digital environments. The use of U+164A is primarily limited to linguistic applications, such as translation, transcription, and data encoding for research and documentation purposes related to Canadian Indigenous languages. By understanding the role of U+164A, we gain insight into the rich cultural heritage and diverse linguistic landscape present in Canada.
