Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘉ has the Unicode code point U+1609. 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+1609 to binary:
00010110 00001001. 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 10001001

Description
The Unicode character U+1609 represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER MO" (Ꜽ) in the Unicode Standard. This character is primarily used in digital text to serve as a carrier for syllabic characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, a writing system utilized by various Indigenous peoples of Canada, including the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuit, and other groups. The "MO" in its name stands for "Modifier," indicating that it is typically used to modify the following character in order to create new syllables. U+1609 does not have a unique visual representation by itself; rather, it functions as a modifier to the preceding and following characters within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+1400-U+167F). This character plays an essential role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and culture through digital communication and publishing.
