Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙩ has the Unicode code point U+1669. 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+1669 to binary:
00010110 01101001. 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 10101001

Description
U+1669 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTSE) is a Unicode character that holds significant importance in the realm of digital typography, specifically within Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. This character serves as a carrier for other syllabic characters and is used to separate the phonetic elements of words written in this unique writing system. The use of U+1669 aids in maintaining consistency and accuracy when representing spoken language in digital text, which is crucial for preserving linguistic heritage. As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics Unicode block, U+1669 contributes to the ongoing efforts towards digital inclusivity and cultural representation for Indigenous communities across Canada.
