Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔝ has the Unicode code point U+151D. 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+151D to binary:
00010101 00011101. 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 10011101

Description
The Unicode character U+151D, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS SHWO," plays a significant role in the digital representation of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics writing system. This unique character set is used primarily by Indigenous communities across Canada for written communication and cultural preservation purposes. The CANADIAN SYLLABICS SHWO specifically represents a particular sound or phoneme in the syllabic script, enabling the accurate representation of words and phrases in the Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and other Aboriginal languages. As digital text becomes increasingly prevalent, the importance of characters like U+151D grows, ensuring that these rich linguistic and cultural histories are preserved for future generations.
