Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘤ has the Unicode code point U+1624. 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+1624 to binary:
00010110 00100100. 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 10100100

Description
U+1624 is a unique character in the Unicode Standard, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LE". It plays an important role in digital text by functioning as a carrier character for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics scripts. In linguistic and cultural contexts, it enables text encoding for these indigenous languages without interfering with the actual characters used to represent syllables. The Unicode character helps maintain the integrity of the original content while making sure that the syllabic system functions efficiently in digital applications. Its usage is predominantly within specialized software and resources dealing with Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, contributing significantly to the preservation and evolution of these languages in the digital age.
