Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔥ has the Unicode code point U+1525. 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+1525 to binary:
00010101 00100101. 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 10010100 10100101

Description
The Unicode character U+1525, also known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SH," holds a significant position within the realm of digital typography, particularly in the context of Indigenous Canadian languages. This character is integral to the representation of certain syllabic structures in the Cree, Ojibwe, and other Canadian Aboriginal languages that employ the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. The utilization of U+1525 within digital text allows for a more accurate and accessible depiction of these languages, which have historically been overlooked or marginalized in traditional Latin-based typography systems. By incorporating this character into digital platforms, it becomes possible to preserve and promote the linguistic heritage of Indigenous communities in Canada while facilitating communication among speakers of these languages. Despite its relatively niche application, U+1525 remains an important symbol of cultural preservation, linguistic diversity, and digital inclusion for Indigenous peoples in Canada and around the world. By providing a robust technical foundation through Unicode, this character helps to uphold the rich linguistic traditions of Canadian Aboriginal languages and fosters greater understanding among different cultures and communities.
