Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔊ has the Unicode code point U+150A. 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+150A to binary:
00010101 00001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+150A, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS NASKAPI SKW, is a character within the Unicode standard that plays an essential role in digital text representation, particularly for indigenous languages such as Naskapi. This specific character is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, which comprises symbols used to represent the phonetic structure of the Inuit, Cree, Ojibwa, and other Indigenous languages spoken across Canada. The use of U+150A in digital text allows for accurate representation and communication of these languages in various digital platforms, fostering cultural preservation and promotion among native communities.
