Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘍ has the Unicode code point U+160D. 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+160D to binary:
00010110 00001101. 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 10001101

Description
U+160D, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER MA, is a specialized character utilized in the encoding of written materials using the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This script is used primarily for Indigenous languages in Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER MA serves a significant role in digital text by providing an essential component for encoding the syllabic structure of these languages. Each syllabic character typically represents a single spoken sound, allowing for efficient communication of complex phonetic structures that are common in Indigenous North American languages. The use of this character and other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters contributes to preserving and promoting the cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of these communities.
