Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘋ has the Unicode code point U+160B. 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+160B to binary:
00010110 00001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+160B Canadian Syllabics Carrier Mee is a specialized character used within the digital text domain, specifically for representing syllables in the Cree language, which is one of the Aboriginal languages spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Cree syllabics writing system is an alphabet based on the Latin script that was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate the translation and dissemination of religious texts among the Cree-speaking communities. U+160B plays a crucial role in encoding the Mee sound, which is essential for accurate communication within these linguistic contexts. This character, like others in the Canadian Syllabics range (U+1600 to U+167F), demonstrates the importance of Unicode in preserving and supporting diverse languages and scripts around the world.
