Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖁ has the Unicode code point U+1581. 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+1581 to binary:
00010101 10000001. 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 10010110 10000001

Description
The Unicode character U+1581, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS QO", is a significant element in the realm of digital text, specifically within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics character set. This particular symbol holds substantial cultural and linguistic importance as it forms part of the written Cree language, one of the most widely spoken Indigenous languages in Canada. The Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics is a phonetic writing system that was developed in the 1940s to standardize and simplify the various alphabets used by different Indigenous groups across Canada. Each character in this system represents a syllable, making it easier for speakers of these languages to learn reading and writing. The "QO" syllabic form represents a specific sound or combination of sounds within the Cree language, contributing to the rich linguistic diversity in Canada. In the digital text sphere, U+1581 plays a critical role by enabling accurate representation and communication in these languages, fostering cultural preservation and literacy among Indigenous communities.
