Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙐ has the Unicode code point U+1650. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1650 to binary:
00010110 01010000
. 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 10011001 10010000

Description
The Unicode character U+1650, also known as the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SE, plays a significant role in digital text representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This encoding is specifically used for representing various linguistic elements in the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwe, and other Indigenous languages of North America. The character serves as a carrier code that helps to separate and organize syllabic blocks, ensuring accurate display and interpretation of the content. It is particularly important for digital text processing systems that handle these unique scripts, facilitating seamless communication across diverse linguistic groups while preserving their cultural identity. By accurately representing these languages in digital text, U+1650 contributes to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous cultures and oral traditions.
