Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙨ has the Unicode code point U+1668. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+1668 to binary:
00010110 01101000
. 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 10101000

Description
U+1668 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTSO) is a character within the Unicode standard that holds a significant role in digital text, specifically for encoding Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. This carrier code point is used to represent a sequence of syllabic characters in Cree, Ojibwa, Inuktitut, and other First Nations languages spoken across Canada. The TTSO stands for "Trailing Terminal Syllabic Object," which denotes the final character in a syllable block. U+1668 ensures the accurate representation of these linguistic systems in digital environments, preserving cultural heritage and fostering communication among Indigenous communities in Canada.
