Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙅ has the Unicode code point U+1645. 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+1645 to binary:
00010110 01000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+1645 is the Unicode character code for CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER ZA. In digital text, it serves as a carrier character used to construct Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters using the standardized Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character does not represent any specific phonetic value on its own and is typically used in conjunction with other characters to form complete syllables within the Canadian Aboriginal languages. The use of CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER ZA demonstrates respect for cultural diversity, linguistic preservation, and digital inclusivity, allowing for the representation of Indigenous languages in various forms of technology and media.
