Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙋ has the Unicode code point U+164B. 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+164B to binary:
00010110 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+164B, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DZEE, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard. It primarily serves as a carrier character in digital text for the Canadian Syllabics script, which represents Indigenous languages of Canada. The Unicode character U+164B helps to encode and display these linguistic expressions accurately on various electronic devices and platforms. This coding system plays a significant role in preserving the cultural heritage and traditional communication methods of the First Nations communities in Canada. Its use within digital text allows for the representation and continuation of their rich linguistic history, as well as enabling contemporary technological access to the Indigenous languages.
