Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕝ has the Unicode code point U+155D. 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+155D to binary:
00010101 01011101. 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 10010101 10011101

Description
U+155D, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS F, is a character in the Unicode standard designed to represent specific phonemes within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. This unique set of characters serves an essential role in digital text for preserving and promoting Indigenous languages across Canada, particularly in regions where these languages are predominantly spoken. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS F character is utilized to denote a specific syllable sound in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system, which has been widely adopted by various First Nations communities for its efficiency and ease of learning. As part of the larger effort to preserve linguistic diversity and cultural heritage, U+155D plays an integral role in fostering communication and understanding among Indigenous populations in Canada.
