Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙇ has the Unicode code point U+1647. 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+1647 to binary:
00010110 01000111. 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 10000111

Description
U+1647, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER INITIAL Z, is a Unicode character that holds significant importance in the realm of digital text, particularly within the context of Canadian Aboriginal languages. This particular character serves as an initial for the Canadian Syllabics block, which consists of 69 distinct characters utilized in writing Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other First Nations languages spoken across Canada. The Unicode representation allows for accurate encoding of these languages in digital text, facilitating communication and preservation of Indigenous cultural heritage. As part of the Canadian Syllabics block, U+1647 enables linguistic and technical experts to transcribe and study these unique writing systems with precision, thus contributing to the advancement of research and understanding of Canada's diverse Indigenous languages and cultures.
