Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘼ has the Unicode code point U+163C. 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+163C to binary:
00010110 00111100. 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 10011000 10111100

Description
U+163C (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLE) is a typographic character within the Unicode Standard that represents a carrier for Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters in digital text. This character enables the representation of syllabic elements in the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other Indigenous languages of Canada by acting as a base to which individual syllabic components can be attached. The usage of U+163C is crucial for accurate transcription, translation, and preservation of these linguistic systems in digital media. It holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical value, as it supports the continuity and promotion of Indigenous languages, facilitates communication among different communities, and maintains the rich oral tradition embedded in syllabic writing systems.
