Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕌ has the Unicode code point U+154C. 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+154C to binary:
00010101 01001100. 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 10001100

Description
The character U+154C (CANADIAN SYLLABICS RAA) plays a significant role in digital text by representing a unique sound within the Canadian Syllabics writing system. This system is used primarily for communication among Indigenous communities, specifically those of the Anishinaabe, Ojibwe, and Cree tribes located in Canada. In digital typography, U+154C ensures the accurate representation of this specific sound, enabling users to communicate in their native languages without loss of meaning or context. Its usage underscores the importance of preserving and promoting linguistic diversity, particularly among Indigenous cultures where traditional knowledge is often encoded within unique scripts. By utilizing U+154C, digital content creators can respect and honor the rich linguistic heritage of these communities while facilitating communication and understanding across different languages and cultures.
