Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖗ has the Unicode code point U+1597. 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+1597 to binary:
00010101 10010111. 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 10010111

Description
U+1597, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAYISI SHE character, is a significant element within the digital text sphere. As part of the Unicode Standard, it plays a crucial role in representing the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script, which has been widely used for centuries among Indigenous peoples in Canada for written communication. This particular character represents the sounds "say" and "isi," commonly used in Cree and other First Nations languages. Its inclusion in digital text systems facilitates accurate representation and preservation of these unique linguistic elements, thereby supporting cultural continuity and language revitalization efforts. With its incorporation into Unicode, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS SAYISI SHE character has become a vital tool for typography and digital communication among Indigenous communities in Canada.
