Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙕ has the Unicode code point U+1655. 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+1655 to binary:
00010110 01010101. 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 10010101

Description
U+1655 is a unique character within the Unicode standard, representing the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SHO" in digital text. This character plays a crucial role in facilitating communication among the Indigenous peoples of Canada, particularly those who speak Algonquian languages like Cree and Ojibwe. The use of Unicode characters like U+1655 allows for the accurate representation of their linguistic heritage and supports the preservation of these ancient languages. In digital text, U+1655 functions as a carrier character that helps convey meaning by connecting other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters. This is essential, as the syllabic writing system was designed to represent phonemes and morphemes in these languages more effectively than the Latin alphabet. The cultural significance of U+1655 lies in its contribution to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages in Canada, which are a vital part of their heritage and identity.
