Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘃ has the Unicode code point U+1603. 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+1603 to binary:
00010110 00000011. 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 10000011

Description
U+1603 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER NO) is a character within the Unicode Standard, specifically part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character serves as a carrier for other syllabic characters, helping to indicate which syllabic character is being used in a sequence. In digital text, it is crucial in ensuring accurate rendering and interpretation of text written in Canadian Aboriginal languages, such as Cree, Ojibwe, or Inuktitut. The use of U+1603 ensures that the correct glyphs are displayed, thereby preserving linguistic and cultural integrity. It plays a significant role in promoting and maintaining Indigenous language diversity, which is vital for the preservation of Indigenous heritage, identity, and knowledge.
