Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘲ has the Unicode code point U+1632. 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+1632 to binary:
00010110 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
The Unicode character U+1632, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LHI, holds a significant role in the digital representation of Canadian Indigenous languages. It is utilized within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block and primarily serves as a carrier character for encoding vowels in these languages. Each character in the syllabic writing system represents a phoneme, which may consist of a consonant followed by a vowel or a standalone vowel. As a carrier character, U+1632 allows for the combination of distinct syllables without necessitating separate code points for each possible combination. This efficient encoding method is essential for the digital preservation and transmission of these vital languages, which are deeply rooted in Canadian Indigenous cultural heritage.
