Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘟ has the Unicode code point U+161F. 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+161F to binary:
00010110 00011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+161F (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER JJEE) is a unique character in the Unicode standard that serves as a carrier for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. This character, specifically, is used to carry two adjacent consonants in the syllabic writing system used by various Indigenous peoples across Canada, primarily the First Nations and Inuit communities. As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Unicode block (U+1600-U+167F), U+161F plays a crucial role in digitally preserving and promoting indigenous languages and culture. The carrier JJEE is particularly significant as it allows for the accurate representation of complex phonological structures found in these languages, enabling more precise translations and better communication between speakers of various dialects. While its usage may be less common in mainstream digital text compared to other characters, U+161F remains an essential tool in preserving and promoting Canada's diverse linguistic heritage.
