Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘞ has the Unicode code point U+161E. 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+161E to binary:
00010110 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
U+161E, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER JJE, is a specialized character used primarily in digital text for the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. This system is used to represent Indigenous languages in Canada, particularly those of the Inuit, First Nations, and Métis communities. As a carrier character, JJE serves as a placeholder for unspecified vowels within the syllabic structure, allowing authors to reserve spaces while maintaining the integrity of the written language. The Canadian Syllabics Carrier JJE is an essential component of this writing system, facilitating communication and preserving cultural heritage in Indigenous communities across Canada.
