Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘌ has the Unicode code point U+160C. 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+160C to binary:
00010110 00001100. 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 10001100

Description
U+160C, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER MI, is a Unicode character primarily used to represent phonetic elements in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. It serves as a carrier for individual syllabic units in this writing system, which was specifically designed to facilitate literacy and communication among Indigenous peoples of Canada. In digital text, it enables accurate representation and encoding of the syllabics, allowing for the preservation and sharing of cultural heritage through written language. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script is a phonetic writing system that encompasses various Indigenous languages spoken across different regions in Canada. U+160C plays a crucial role in promoting linguistic diversity and preserving Indigenous cultural identity.
