Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙆ has the Unicode code point U+1646. 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+1646 to binary:
00010110 01000110. 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 10000110

Description
The Unicode character U+1646, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER Z," holds a significant role in digital text, particularly within the realm of Canadian Indigenous languages. As a carrier character, it is primarily used to divide syllables within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script, which encompasses various languages such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. By serving as a bridge between individual phonetic units, U+1646 facilitates accurate and consistent text encoding, ensuring proper representation of these Indigenous languages in digital formats. The character is an essential component of preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and cultural heritage within Canada's First Nations communities.
