Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘹ has the Unicode code point U+1639. 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+1639 to binary:
00010110 00111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+1639, known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier TLHA, plays a vital role in digital text pertaining to the Canadian Aboriginal languages. This particular character serves as a carrier for syllables in the Inuktitut language, which is spoken by the Inuit people of Canada. The term "TLHA" stands for Tunngavik Language Help Association, an organization dedicated to preserving and promoting the Inuktitut language and culture. U+1639 ensures that the unique phonetic structure of Inuktitut is maintained in digital communication and data storage systems, thus preserving linguistic integrity while facilitating cross-cultural understanding. In a technical context, this character enables accurate encoding and decoding of text in Aboriginal languages, enhancing the accessibility and usability of these languages in digital environments.
