Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘰ has the Unicode code point U+1630. 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+1630 to binary:
00010110 00110000. 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 10110000

Description
The Unicode character U+1630, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LHE, is a crucial element within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics encoding scheme. It primarily serves as a carrier for syllable blocks in the Cree, Inuktitut, and other Aboriginal languages of Canada. These syllabic characters are designed to accommodate phonological patterns specific to these languages that are not typically found in English or other European-based languages. The use of U+1630 allows for a more accurate representation of the unique sounds and structures inherent in these indigenous Canadian tongues, thus preserving linguistic identity and facilitating digital communication among Aboriginal speakers. This character, along with its companions in the Unicode block for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics (U+1630 to U+167F), plays a vital role in maintaining cultural heritage and promoting language revitalization efforts in indigenous communities across Canada.
