Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔑ has the Unicode code point U+1511. 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+1511 to binary:
00010101 00010001. 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 10010001

Description
The Unicode character U+1511 is known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SHI". This symbol holds a significant place in the realm of digital text, specifically within the context of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block. Developed by missionaries and educators to facilitate the written transmission of oral Cree language, these symbols represent phonemes, which are the smallest units of sound that distinguish meaning. The Unicode character U+1511 is part of a set of 24 symbols representing Cree vowels and consonants, demonstrating its role in fostering linguistic diversity and cultural preservation. Its precise use relies on context, as it may be employed in applications catering to aboriginal studies, linguistics research, or even modern Indigenous language revitalization initiatives.
