Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘮ has the Unicode code point U+162E. 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+162E to binary:
00010110 00101110. 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 10101110

Description
U+162E, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LHU, is a unique character within the Unicode standard, specifically designed to serve as a carrier for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. In digital text, this character acts as a placeholder for syllables, enabling efficient encoding and storage of various aboriginal languages spoken in Canada. The use of U+162E allows for a more accurate representation of these languages, promoting cultural preservation and facilitating communication among speakers of these dialects. As a crucial component in the Unicode system, it plays a vital role in ensuring the digital accessibility of indigenous Canadian languages.
