Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘦ has the Unicode code point U+1626. 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+1626 to binary:
00010110 00100110. 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 10100110

Description
U+1626, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER LI, is a specialized character used primarily in digital text for Canadian Aboriginal languages. It serves as a carrier for syllabic characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, which is utilized by various Indigenous groups in Canada to represent their unique languages. Each syllabic character in this writing system is composed of a base character (such as U+1626) combined with one or more modifier characters, allowing for the representation of a wide variety of phonemes and words. Although its usage may be limited to specific linguistic communities, U+1626 plays an important role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages, contributing to cultural diversity and understanding in Canada and beyond.
