Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙫ has the Unicode code point U+166B. 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+166B to binary:
00010110 01101011. 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 10101011

Description
The Unicode character U+166B, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTSI, is a crucial element in digital text within the realm of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics. This particular character serves as a carrier for the TTSI (Transitional-to-Traditional Script Interchange) encoding system, which facilitates the interchange between different versions of the syllabic script used by various Indigenous groups in Canada. U+166B enables the display and usage of traditional syllabics from one digital platform to another, ensuring the preservation and transmission of these unique scripts. In essence, it acts as a connector, maintaining the integrity and cultural significance of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics across various technologies and platforms.
