Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘛ has the Unicode code point U+161B. 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+161B to binary:
00010110 00011011. 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 10011000 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+161B, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER JA, serves a crucial role in digital text by representing the syllabic carrier for the first consonant in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is primarily used in Indigenous languages of Canada, particularly among the Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian language communities. The character facilitates the combination of vowels and consonants within these languages, enabling efficient encoding and display of syllabic text. U+161B is part of a larger set of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters that provide comprehensive support for Indigenous communication in digital environments.
