Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖹ has the Unicode code point U+15B9. 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+15B9 to binary:
00010101 10111001. 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 10111001

Description
The Unicode character U+15B9, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS BLACKFOOT NI," is a significant symbol in the Canadian Syllabics Block. This character holds an essential role in digital text by representing a phonetic value in the Blackfoot language, which is part of the Algonquian language family spoken by the Blackfoot people in North America. It primarily serves as a means to transcribe the Blackfoot dialects, including Siksika (Blackfoot), Kainai (Blood), and Piikani (Peigan). In this context, U+15B9 contributes to preserving and promoting Indigenous languages, which are vital elements of cultural heritage. The use of Unicode characters like CANADIAN SYLLABICS BLACKFOOT NI in digital text enables accurate representation and dissemination of these languages on the internet and other digital platforms, fostering communication among native speakers and facilitating linguistic research.
