Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔏ has the Unicode code point U+150F. 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+150F to binary:
00010101 00001111. 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 10001111

Description
U+150F (CANADIAN SYLLABICS NASKAPI SCWA) is a character from the Unicode Standard that holds significant importance in digital text, particularly for the Naskapi people of Quebec, Canada. As part of the Canadian Syllabics block, this character set was developed to represent the Inuit and First Nations languages spoken across Northern America. U+150F specifically represents the consonant-syllable combination 'a,' a fundamental element in the Naskapi language. Its typical usage lies within digital text for communication, literature, and cultural preservation among the Naskapi community. As a result, it plays an essential role in maintaining linguistic diversity and promoting cultural identity among indigenous peoples of Canada. The character is encoded in the Unicode Standard to ensure accurate representation across different digital platforms, thus fostering greater accessibility and understanding for both native speakers and language learners alike.
