Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖤ has the Unicode code point U+15A4. 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+15A4 to binary:
00010101 10100100. 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 10010110 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+15A4 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS LHA" glyph, which is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block in the Unicode standard. This specific symbol plays a significant role in digital texts related to the Canadian Indigenous languages, particularly those that utilize the syllabic writing system. The LHA character is commonly employed in communication, documentation, and educational resources within these linguistic communities, facilitating the expression of a wide range of ideas, sentiments, and cultural identities. By accurately representing the phonetic properties of the Inuktitut and Cree languages, among others, U+15A4 contributes to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous heritage in Canada and beyond.
