Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘵ has the Unicode code point U+1635. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1635 to binary:
00010110 00110101
. 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 10110101

Description
The character U+1635, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TLHO, plays a significant role in digital text, specifically within the realm of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This particular character is used as a carrier character for the representation of the syllabic element "TLHO" in the Inuit, Dene, and Cree languages. The use of carrier characters helps to ensure accurate representation of these indigenous North American languages in digital environments. Due to the limited number of unique characters available in the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, carrier characters are essential for encoding a wider range of phonetic distinctions. Consequently, U+1635 serves as a vital component within the linguistic and technical contexts associated with these indigenous languages, facilitating their representation and preservation in digital text.
