Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕔ has the Unicode code point U+1554. 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+1554 to binary:
00010101 01010100. 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 10010100

Description
U+1554 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS FAAI) is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically within the "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" block. It primarily serves as a representation of phonetic sounds and forms an essential part of digital text in the Canadian Indigenous languages that utilize this syllabic writing system. Developed by missionaries to facilitate literacy among the various First Nations groups, these symbols map to their corresponding phonemes, enabling speakers of these languages to read and write fluently. The character FAAI holds significant linguistic and cultural importance for the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other Indigenous communities in Canada, as it helps preserve their oral traditions and supports the transmission of knowledge across generations. Additionally, its inclusion in digital text formats ensures the preservation and promotion of Indigenous heritage and identity within the rapidly evolving world of technology.
