Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘙ has the Unicode code point U+1619. 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+1619 to binary:
00010110 00011001. 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 10011001

Description
U+1619, the Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ji character, is a typographical symbol with significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance in digital text. It primarily serves as a carrier for other characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of Unicode, which encompasses the writing system used by Indigenous peoples across Canada, particularly in the Arctic regions and parts of Quebec. This script is essential for preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and cultural heritage. In digital text, U+1619 allows for the seamless combination of characters from different syllabics blocks, enabling a smooth representation of words and phrases in various Indigenous languages. It's important to note that while this character has a specific technical function as a carrier, it does not represent any meaningful information or sound on its own, reflecting the importance of understanding the context and nuances of Unicode in digital text representation.
