Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔉ has the Unicode code point U+1509. 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+1509 to binary:
00010101 00001001. 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 10010100 10001001

Description
U+1509 is a Canadian Syllabics character that specifically represents the Moose-Cree sound "sk" in the Cree language. This character plays an essential role in digital text by enabling accurate representation of the Cree language, which is one of the Algonquian languages spoken by Indigenous peoples in Canada. The Cree syllabics script was developed in the 19th century by missionaries and has since become a vital tool for preserving and promoting Cree culture and linguistic heritage. U+1509, like other Canadian Syllabics characters, contributes to the accurate representation of Indigenous languages in digital text, which is crucial for maintaining cultural identity, promoting language revitalization efforts, and facilitating effective communication within and across Indigenous communities in Canada.
