Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᘎ has the Unicode code point U+160E. 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+160E to binary:
00010110 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+160E, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER YU, is a specialized character in the Unicode Standard, specifically designed for representing phonetic syllables within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This unique set of characters is primarily utilized in digital text for written communication among Indigenous peoples of Canada, predominantly those belonging to the Cree, Ojibwe, and other First Nations communities. The use of these characters allows for an accurate representation of their distinct syllabic structure, which differs from the Latin alphabet traditionally employed in English or other European languages. By facilitating the digital representation of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, U+160E contributes to preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Indigenous communities across Canada, fostering cultural exchange and understanding.
