Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘢ has the Unicode code point U+1622. 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+1622 to binary:
00010110 00100010. 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 10100010

Description
The Unicode character U+1622, known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier Lu, serves a crucial role in digital text by providing a visual representation for phonetic information within the Canadian Inuit and Cree languages. This character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which consists of 50 characters (U+16A0 to U+16FF) that represent the core syllabic structure of various Indigenous languages in Canada. The Lu carrier character, in particular, functions as a visual placeholder for certain phonetic rules and is not intended for direct use in text. Its presence ensures proper spacing and alignment for characters surrounding it, without impacting the meaning or pronunciation of the text. U+1622's significance lies in its contribution to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity within Indigenous communities across Canada.
