Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙏ has the Unicode code point U+164F. 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+164F to binary:
00010110 01001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+164F Canadian Syllabics Carrier SO is a character in the Unicode standard used to represent syllables within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. In digital text, this character acts as a placeholder or separator for individual syllables, enabling smooth rendering and better readability of the text. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script is an essential tool for communication in Indigenous communities across Canada, particularly in the North, where it has facilitated literacy efforts in various First Nations languages. While U+164F itself does not represent a specific syllable or sound, it plays a vital role in ensuring accurate representation and interpretation of text within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics system.
