Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖱ has the Unicode code point U+15B1. 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+15B1 to binary:
00010101 10110001. 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 10010110 10110001

Description
U+15B1, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS BLACKFOOT I, is a unique character within the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in the realm of digital text, particularly for the Blackfoot language. This specific character serves as the foundation for representing phonemes in the Blackfoot language, which is predominantly spoken by the Blackfoot people indigenous to North America, primarily residing in Canada and the United States. In the digital sphere, U+15B1 plays a crucial role in enabling accurate transcription and communication of this language across different platforms and devices. Its inclusion within Unicode not only helps preserve the rich linguistic heritage of the Blackfoot people but also promotes cultural diversity and understanding in our increasingly globalized world. The character is an essential component for linguists, anthropologists, and anyone interested in learning or studying the Blackfoot language and its unique syllabic system.
