Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖡ has the Unicode code point U+15A1. 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+15A1 to binary:
00010101 10100001. 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 10100001

Description
U+15A1, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS LHII, is a unique character in the Unicode standard that holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance. This character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which comprises 84 characters used to represent the phonemes of various Indigenous languages spoken by First Nations peoples in Canada. Typically utilized in digital text, U+15A1 specifically represents a consonant-vowel sequence in these languages. Although its usage is relatively niche due to the limited scope of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, this character serves as an essential tool for preserving and promoting Indigenous linguistic heritage in Canada's digital realm. By enabling accurate representation of these languages online, U+15A1 and other characters in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block contribute to fostering cultural understanding, facilitating communication among Indigenous communities, and supporting revitalization efforts for endangered Indigenous languages.
