Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔣ has the Unicode code point U+1523. 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+1523 to binary:
00010101 00100011. 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 10100011

Description
The Unicode character U+1523, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS SHWAA, is a crucial element in the representation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system. This script is primarily used for written communication among various indigenous peoples in Canada, including the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuit, and other First Nations communities. As a vital component of their linguistic heritage, U+1523 plays an essential role in preserving and promoting these diverse cultural identities. The character represents the "SHWAA" sound within this syllabary system, which is based on a phonetic principle where each symbol corresponds to a specific consonant-vowel combination. This encoding enables accurate digital representation of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics, facilitating communication and cultural preservation for these communities in the digital age.
