Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘊ has the Unicode code point U+160A. 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+160A to binary:
00010110 00001010. 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 10001010

Description
The Unicode character U+160A is known as the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier ME." It serves a crucial role in digital text, specifically within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. This character acts as a marker for encoding vowel-only sequences and helping to prevent the ambiguity that can arise from the similarity of certain vowels in this script. The use of U+160A enables the accurate representation of the complex sounds and structure found within the Canadian Indigenous languages. Though primarily used in linguistic contexts, its significance stretches into technical realms as well, ensuring the proper functioning and interpretation of digital text in these languages.
