Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕽ has the Unicode code point U+157D. 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+157D to binary:
00010101 01111101. 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 10111101

Description
The Unicode character U+157D represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS HK" in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. This character is commonly used in digital text for representing a specific phonetic value in written form within the Cree language, which is part of the larger Algonquian linguistic family. The role of Unicode in encoding U+157D is to ensure accurate representation and display of this character across various platforms and devices. The use of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, including U+157D, has significant cultural importance, as it was developed by missionaries in the 1940s to facilitate literacy among First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities in Canada. Today, these characters continue to play a crucial role in preserving indigenous languages and promoting linguistic diversity.
