Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘀ has the Unicode code point U+1600. 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+1600 to binary:
00010110 00000000. 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 10000000

Description
U+1600 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER KKA) is a unique character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for encoding Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. In digital text, it serves as a carrier unit, combining with other syllabic characters to form words and phrases within the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe, and other Canadian Indigenous languages. As an essential component of these linguistic systems, U+1600 enables the accurate representation and communication of diverse cultural and linguistic contexts in digital formats. Its usage not only supports linguistic preservation but also fosters greater inclusivity and understanding of Indigenous cultures within the realm of modern technology.
