Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕅ has the Unicode code point U+1545. 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+1545 to binary:
00010101 01000101. 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 10000101

Description
U+1545 is a character in the Canadian Syllabics Unicode block, specifically known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS RAAI." This character plays a crucial role in digital text representation for communication within Indigenous communities in Canada, particularly among the Cree people. It serves to represent phonetic syllables in the Cree language, which is part of the larger Algonquian family of languages spoken across North America. In the context of typography and Unicode encoding, U+1545 contributes significantly to preserving and promoting linguistic diversity by facilitating accurate digital text representation for these Indigenous communities.
