Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘘ has the Unicode code point U+1618. 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+1618 to binary:
00010110 00011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+1618, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER JEE, is a unique character within the Unicode system. As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+1600–U+167F), this character holds significant cultural and linguistic importance in Canada. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are used to represent the languages of various First Nations communities across the country, with each symbol often representing a consonant or vowel sound. The primary role of U+1618, JEE, is that of a carrier character. In typography, a carrier character serves as a placeholder for adjusting spacing and alignment in text. This can be particularly helpful when working with complex scripts or language systems where standard Latin-based spacing rules do not apply. In the context of digital text, U+1618 assists in maintaining proper formatting and layout within texts written in Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. By providing an additional character to work with, designers and typesetters can achieve accurate alignment and spacing for these unique languages without compromising readability or aesthetic appeal. This contributes to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous cultures and languages throughout Canada and beyond.
