Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙞ has the Unicode code point U+165E. 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+165E to binary:
00010110 01011110
. 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 10011110

Description
U+165E (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TSEE) is a character from the Unicode standard, specifically designed to represent an element in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. In digital text, this character typically serves as a carrier for other syllabic characters, facilitating their arrangement and presentation within written content. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics are part of the broader family of Abugidas, which include scripts like Devanagari and Ethiopic. They have been vital in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages across Canada, particularly in the education sector. U+165E plays a crucial role in these efforts by ensuring proper spacing and formatting for words composed using the Canadian Syllabics script, thereby contributing to cultural and linguistic preservation in a digital context.
