Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙟ has the Unicode code point U+165F. 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+165F to binary:
00010110 01011111. 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 10011111

Description
U+165F is a Unicode character, also known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier Tsi. This character is typically used in digital text within the context of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, which represents the languages of the First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples of Canada. The syllabics script was developed by missionaries and educators in the late 19th and early 20th centuries to facilitate literacy in these communities. U+165F serves as a carrier character for the purpose of separating or grouping other characters within the syllabics script, ensuring proper syllable division and pronunciation when reading or writing in these languages.
