Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙪ has the Unicode code point U+166A. 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+166A to binary:
00010110 01101010. 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 10101010

Description
U+166A is the Unicode code point for CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTSEE, a typographic character primarily used in digital text representation of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This writing system, which uses a phonetic alphabet to represent the languages of the Indigenous peoples of Canada, is particularly prevalent among the Cree, Ojibwe, and Inuit communities. The TTSEE character serves as a carrier in this system, meaning it carries information about adjacent characters or syllabic blocks within the syllabics writing. Its role is crucial for maintaining the proper flow of text and preserving the intended phonetic structure of words. U+166A is part of the larger Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block (U+14F0-16FF), which encompasses 256 characters essential to represent the diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis languages across Canada.
