Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘶ has the Unicode code point U+1636. 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+1636 to binary:
00010110 00110110. 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 10110110

Description
The character U+1636, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLHE, is a crucial element in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics character set. It serves as a carrier character for syllabic scripts used by indigenous communities in Canada to represent their languages. These scripts are based on the Latin script and utilize specific characters to symbolize both consonants and vowels. U+1636 is predominantly used in digital text for typographical purposes, enabling the efficient encoding of syllabic structures within these languages. It is also integral in the accurate representation of the cultural and linguistic diversity present in Canada. By providing a technical solution to the unique needs of Canadian indigenous communities, U+1636 plays a pivotal role in preserving and promoting their heritage and identity through written expression.
