Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕖ has the Unicode code point U+1556. 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+1556 to binary:
00010101 01010110. 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 10010110

Description
The Unicode character U+1556, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS FII, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific sound in the Canadian Syllabics script. It is part of a set of characters used to transcribe the Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. These languages are rich in cultural and linguistic heritage and have been passed down for generations through oral tradition. The Canadian Syllabics script was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate translation efforts among Indigenous communities, making religious texts and education more accessible. Today, the characters, including U+1556, are used in digital text to preserve and promote these languages in the digital age. The Unicode character set ensures that these scripts are accurately represented across different platforms and devices, promoting inclusivity and respect for Indigenous cultures worldwide.
