Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙛ has the Unicode code point U+165B. 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+165B to binary:
00010110 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
The Unicode character U+165B, also known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier TSU, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as an essential component within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. It acts as a carrier for the other characters within this unique orthography, which is widely used among various Indigenous communities in Canada, particularly in the Cree, Inuit, and Ojibwe languages. As part of a group of 61 unique symbols that collectively represent consonants, vowels, and diacritics, U+165B assists in encoding and displaying the rich linguistic heritage of these native North American cultures. Its accurate representation is vital to preserving Indigenous languages and fostering communication between diverse communities in Canada and beyond.
