Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙝ has the Unicode code point U+165D. 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+165D to binary:
00010110 01011101. 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 10011001 10011101

Description
U+165D is a character in the Canadian Syllabics block of Unicode, representing the "Canadian Syllabics Carrier TSE" (Typographically Similar Element). This character serves as a carrier for other syllabic characters, facilitating their use and display in digital text. The Canadian Syllabics script is primarily used by Indigenous peoples across Canada, particularly in the regions of Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Quebec, where it is an essential part of the Ojibwe, Cree, Inuktitut, and other First Nations' languages. U+165D plays a crucial role in ensuring the accuracy and functionality of these linguistic systems in digital environments, contributing to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages and cultures.
