Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘗ has the Unicode code point U+1617. 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+1617 to binary:
00010110 00010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+1617, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER JE," is a character from the Unicode standard that plays an essential role in digital text representation, particularly within the context of the Canadian Syllabics script. As a carrier character, its primary function is to facilitate the proper display and encoding of Canadian Aboriginal syllabic characters by acting as a visual marker for syllabic consonants. In digital text processing, U+1617 helps ensure that text in Canadian Syllabics is accurately displayed and interpreted across various platforms and devices. This character is integral to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages and culture in Canada, providing a critical tool for digital communication and literacy within these communities.
