Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘆ has the Unicode code point U+1606. 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+1606 to binary:
00010110 00000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+1606, the Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ni, is a crucial component of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics character set in digital text. This particular character serves as a carrier character, meaning it can be followed by any other character within the syllabic set to form a composite character representing a single phoneme or syllable. The role of the Carrier Ni is fundamental for proper rendering and interpretation of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics in digital texts, such as websites, documents, and applications. This character set, which includes U+1606, is vital for preserving and promoting Indigenous languages in Canada and for facilitating communication among its speakers. The cultural significance of these characters lies in their ability to represent the rich linguistic heritage of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada. As a technical aspect, the proper encoding and usage of U+1606 ensure accurate representation and compatibility with various digital platforms and devices for the benefit of Indigenous language speakers and enthusiasts.
