Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙖ has the Unicode code point U+1656. 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+1656 to binary:
00010110 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
U+1656 is the Unicode code point for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SHE", a character used in digital text representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system. This writing system, which utilizes a set of 42 phonetic symbols called syllabics, is employed predominantly by the First Nations peoples of Canada to write their various Indigenous languages, including Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. The "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SHE" character serves as a visual aid for pronunciation, helping readers understand how to articulate the syllables represented by the preceding and following Canadian Aboriginal syllabic characters. Its role in digital text is essential for maintaining linguistic accuracy and cultural integrity when encoding and transmitting texts written in these Indigenous languages through electronic devices or over the internet. The character U+1656 plays a crucial part in preserving the linguistic heritage of the First Nations people of Canada and promoting cross-cultural understanding and appreciation.
