Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙚ has the Unicode code point U+165A. 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+165A to binary:
00010110 01011010. 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 10011010

Description
The Unicode character U+165A represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SH" in digital text. This character serves as a carrier for syllabic characters within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, specifically the "SH" sound. In this context, the character is typically used to represent the initial consonant /ʃ/ found in the 14 Cree and 4 Inuktitut languages of Canada. The use of this character is significant for its role in preserving and promoting Indigenous Canadian languages, which are part of a broader effort to support cultural diversity and linguistic heritage. As an integral part of the Unicode Standard, U+165A ensures accurate representation and encoding of these syllabics across different digital platforms and applications, contributing to the accessibility and promotion of Indigenous languages in the digital era.
