Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘷ has the Unicode code point U+1637. 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+1637 to binary:
00010110 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+1637 is a typographical character representing the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLHEE in Unicode. This character serves as a carrier character for the Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing system, particularly used in the Inuit, Cree, and Ojibwe languages. The carrier characters are essential components of this system as they provide structure and boundaries for individual syllables, thereby enabling the representation of complex sounds and phonetic variations specific to these languages. The character U+1637 is primarily utilized in digital text for encoding purposes, ensuring accurate and efficient representation of the native Canadian Aboriginal syllabic writing systems in electronic media and software applications. Its inclusion in the Unicode Standard underscores the growing recognition and importance of preserving linguistic diversity and cultural heritage through effective typographic support.
