Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘁ has the Unicode code point U+1601. 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+1601 to binary:
00010110 00000001. 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 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1601, known as the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier KK," holds a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the realm of Aboriginal languages in Canada. This particular symbol is classified under the category of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, which encompasses symbols used for writing various First Nations, Inuit, and Métis languages across Canada. The Canadian Syllabics Carrier KK serves as a carrier character, meaning it acts as a placeholder in digital text to facilitate proper formatting and layout when using syllabic characters from these Aboriginal languages. By serving as a neutral, non-meaningful character, U+1601 ensures that the subsequent syllabics are correctly displayed in their intended positions within written texts, thus preserving linguistic integrity and cultural heritage.
