Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙎ has the Unicode code point U+164E. 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+164E to binary:
00010110 01001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+164E, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SU, is a specialized character used in the representation of Canadian Aboriginal languages within digital text. This glyph serves as a carrier for syllabic characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of the Unicode Standard, which encompasses 21 Indigenous languages spoken across Canada's vast territory. By employing a carrier character like SU, typographers and software developers can effectively display complex syllabic structures that are fundamental to these linguistic systems. While its usage is specific, CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER SU plays an important role in preserving and promoting the rich cultural heritage of Indigenous peoples throughout Canada.
