Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙧ has the Unicode code point U+1667. 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+1667 to binary:
00010110 01100111. 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 10100111

Description
The Unicode character U+1667, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTSU, plays a significant role in digital text by serving as a carrier for the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. This encoding allows for the representation of syllabic units within the syllabics block, enabling the accurate and efficient encoding of various First Nations languages in Canada, such as Cree, Inuktitut, and Ojibwe. The use of the CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER TTSU is essential for the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages, as it facilitates digital communication and documentation within these communities. In a technical context, this character ensures that syllabic units are correctly displayed and interpreted in various software applications, contributing to the proper functioning and usability of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script.
