Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙌ has the Unicode code point U+164C. 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+164C to binary:
00010110 01001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+164C, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DZI, is a unique character in the Unicode standard that plays a crucial role in digital text encoding. This character serves as a carrier for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, which are used to represent the languages of Canada's First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities. CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER DZI is essential for accurate representation and transmission of these languages in digital mediums, allowing for the preservation and revitalization of Indigenous Canadian cultures. Its usage promotes linguistic diversity and inclusivity while providing a vital tool for language experts, educators, and speakers of these unique languages.
