Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘑ has the Unicode code point U+1611. 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+1611 to binary:
00010110 00010001. 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 10011000 10010001

Description
U+1611, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER YEE, is a typographic character in the Unicode Standard, specifically within the "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" block. This character serves as a carrier for the representation of individual syllables in the Canadian Aboriginal languages. The use of U+1611 allows for the combination of different syllabic characters to form words and sentences in these indigenous languages. Although primarily used in Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, its technical role is significant as it demonstrates the flexibility and adaptability of the Unicode Standard to accommodate the diverse needs of various linguistic groups worldwide. In the context of digital text, U+1611 plays a crucial role in ensuring accurate and efficient communication in these languages, promoting cultural preservation and facilitating literacy in Canadian Aboriginal communities.
