Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕟ has the Unicode code point U+155F. 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+155F to binary:
00010101 01011111. 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 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+155F, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS N-CREE THE, holds a significant role in digital text for representing the Canadian Syllabics script. This alphasyllabary is utilized primarily by First Nations people of North America, specifically among the Cree community. The character U+155F symbolizes the phoneme /t/, which is one of the basic consonantal units in this script. Its usage serves to accurately transcribe and preserve the Cree language, providing a valuable digital platform for its speakers to communicate and maintain their linguistic heritage. As a crucial part of the Canadian Syllabics encoding system, U+155F enables the representation of a rich and distinct indigenous language, reflecting both the cultural and technical significance of the Canadian Syllabics script in the digital realm.
