Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᒅ has the Unicode code point U+1485. 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+1485 to binary:
00010100 10000101. 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 10010010 10000101

Description
U+1485 is a Canadian Syllabics South-Slavey "KEH" character, which plays an essential role in the digital text representation of the South Slavey language spoken by the Indigenous peoples of North America. This character belongs to the Unicode standard and forms part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, designed to support the writing systems of various First Nations languages across Canada. The South Slavey "KEH" character represents a specific syllable in the language, contributing to its phonetic and orthographic structure. As an expert in Unicode and typography, it is crucial to recognize the importance of preserving and promoting such linguistic diversity through accurate digital text representation to maintain cultural heritage and facilitate communication within these communities.
