Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘄ has the Unicode code point U+1604. 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+1604 to binary:
00010110 00000100. 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 10000100

Description
U+1604, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER NE," is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text for the representation of Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. This character serves as a carrier or separator within the larger syllabic blocks and does not represent a distinct sound or meaning on its own. The usage of U+1604 within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics system is essential in written communication among Indigenous communities, particularly in the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other languages using this script. The character's role is significant in preserving and promoting Indigenous linguistic heritage, fostering cultural identity, and facilitating literacy within these language communities.
