Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙁ has the Unicode code point U+1641. 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+1641 to binary:
00010110 01000001. 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 10000001

Description
U+1641 is the Unicode character for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER ZO." This character is a part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which comprises of characters used to write the various indigenous languages of Canada. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER ZO serves as a visual marker for syllables within these languages and assists in distinguishing the individual phonemes in syllabic writing systems. It does not represent any specific sound or meaning on its own, but when combined with other characters in the block, it helps to form distinct words and phrases in various Canadian Aboriginal languages. The use of this character and others within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block plays a crucial role in preserving indigenous cultures and facilitating communication among speakers of these languages.
