Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᙾ has the Unicode code point U+167E. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800
to0xffff
.
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 thex
are 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+167E to binary:
00010110 01111110
. 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 10111110

Description
U+167E is a character from the Unicode standard, which is a system used to encode characters for digital text. Specifically, it represents the "Canadian Syllabics Woods Cree Final TH" in digital text. The character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which includes characters used in the writing systems of several Indigenous languages in Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. U+167E is a final consonant in the Woods Cree syllabic writing system, where it follows an initial consonant and precedes a vowel or vowel sequence. This character serves an important role in preserving and promoting the linguistic heritage of Indigenous peoples in Canada by enabling digital representation of their languages. It is often used in text editors and software that support the display and processing of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, ensuring accurate representation and transmission of these languages online and in digital communications.
