Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔎ has the Unicode code point U+150E. 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+150E to binary:
00010101 00001110. 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 10001110

Description
U+150E, the Canadian Syllabics Naskapi Ska, is a typographic character found within the Unicode Standard. Its primary role lies in digital text where it represents a syllable in the Naskapi language, spoken by the Naskapi people who inhabit the northeastern region of Quebec and Labrador in Canada. This particular character is part of the larger family of Canadian Syllabics characters, which encompass various Indigenous languages of North America. Each character represents a phoneme or sound unit in these languages. The use of U+150E in digital texts is significant as it contributes to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity, and helps maintain cultural identity by providing an accurate representation of the Naskapi language on digital platforms.
