Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕛ has the Unicode code point U+155B. 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+155B to binary:
00010101 01011011. 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 10011011

Description
U+155B, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS FWAA, is a character in the Unicode standard that represents an element of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This script is primarily used for writing Cree, Ojibwe, and other Algonquian languages, as well as Inuktitut and other Inuit languages. Typical usage of U+155B in digital text includes representing a specific phonetic sound or syllable in these languages, serving an important role in written communication for Indigenous communities across Canada. The character holds significant cultural and linguistic context, as it helps preserve the rich oral tradition of these communities by providing a means to transcribe and share their languages digitally. In terms of technical context, U+155B is part of the Unicode block 'CJK Unified Ideographs Extension B', which encompasses additional characters used in various scripts beyond the standard Chinese character set.
