Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘅ has the Unicode code point U+1605. 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+1605 to binary:
00010110 00000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+1605 is a character in the Unicode standard that represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER NEE" in digital text. It is utilized within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which encompasses a group of characters used to represent multiple languages spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada. The primary function of this character is as a carrier, meaning it serves as a placeholder for other syllabic characters, and does not hold any linguistic meaning on its own. While the "NEE" part of the name might suggest an English language component, it actually refers to the specific variant of the carrier character used in the Eastern Cree dialect. This character plays a significant role in maintaining and promoting Indigenous languages by providing a digital platform for their representation and communication.
