Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘡ has the Unicode code point U+1621. 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+1621 to binary:
00010110 00100001. 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 10100001

Description
The Unicode character U+1621, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER JJA, is a specialized typographic symbol primarily used in the context of digital text processing. It serves as a carrier for the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, which is an alphasyllabary consisting of 21 consonants and 8 vowels. The syllabic system was developed by missionaries to aid in the translation of Christian texts into Cree and other First Nations languages, and has since evolved to include representations for various Indigenous languages across Canada. U+1621 specifically is a carrier character used to separate or group syllables in these scripts, allowing for more efficient and accurate processing of text in digital systems. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER JJA character plays an essential role in the representation and preservation of Indigenous languages and cultures, ensuring their continued existence in the digital age.
