Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘧ has the Unicode code point U+1627. 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+1627 to binary:
00010110 00100111. 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 10100111

Description
U+1627, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LA, is a crucial character within the Unicode standard, specifically in the Cree syllabics block. Its primary role in digital text lies in its function as a carrier character for the Cree language, an Indigenous language predominantly spoken in Canada. This unique syllabic writing system, comprising 21 consonants and 7 vowels with various possible combinations, is tailored to phonetically represent the diverse linguistic aspects of the Cree language. As a carrier character, CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LA serves as an essential element in preserving and promoting Indigenous cultures and languages by facilitating digital representation and communication of these historically marginalized dialects.
