Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘥ has the Unicode code point U+1625. 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+1625 to binary:
00010110 00100101. 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 10100101

Description
U+1625 is the Unicode character code for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LEE." It plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a carrier for Canadian Aboriginal syllabic characters, which are part of the Cree, Inuktitut, Ojibwa, and other First Nations languages in Canada. These characters were developed by missionaries to represent phonetic sounds specific to these indigenous languages, allowing for a more accurate transcription and translation of their unique oral traditions, stories, and cultural expressions. The U+1625 character is typically used as an underlay or buffer between the syllabic character it carries and other text elements, ensuring proper rendering and spacing in digital media. It highlights the importance of preserving and promoting linguistic diversity, as well as respecting the rich cultural heritage of indigenous communities in Canada and beyond.
