Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕘ has the Unicode code point U+1558. 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+1558 to binary:
00010101 01011000. 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 10011000

Description
The character U+1558, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS FOO, is a symbol in the Unicode standard, specifically located within the "Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics" block. This particular glyph holds significance in the context of digital text and communication, predominantly for its role in representing the Canadian Indigenous languages. These syllabic scripts are essential for preserving, promoting, and teaching the linguistic heritage of various First Nations communities across Canada. While this character is often used in academic research and digital platforms to transcribe or translate Indigenous language texts, it may not have a direct correspondence with a specific sound or word in any one language. Nevertheless, its inclusion in Unicode and its usage within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block serves as a testament to the diversity of human languages and the importance of digital text representation for preserving linguistic heritage.
