Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕋ has the Unicode code point U+154B. 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+154B to binary:
00010101 01001011. 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 10001011

Description
U+154B is a Canadian Syllabics character representing the letter "RA" in the Cree syllabics script, used primarily for written communication in various Indigenous languages of Canada, including Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. As part of the Unicode Standard, U+154B ensures consistent encoding and display across different digital platforms and devices, facilitating interchangeability between applications and systems. The Cree syllabics script was developed by missionaries in the 1940s to help teach literacy to Indigenous children, and it has since evolved into a versatile writing system used for various purposes such as education, literature, religion, and legal documentation. U+154B plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and cultural heritage within the digital realm.
