Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑕ has the Unicode code point U+1455. 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+1455 to binary:
00010100 01010101. 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 10010001 10010101

Description
The Unicode character U+1455 represents the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS TA" glyph. In digital text, it serves as a crucial component of written communication in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. Developed by missionaries in the 19th century for use among Indigenous communities in Canada, this writing system is now widely employed to convey meaning across various Cree, Ojibwe, and other First Nations languages. As a result, U+1455 plays an integral role in preserving and promoting cultural heritage while facilitating literacy efforts within these linguistic communities. This character's significance lies not only in its technical function but also its broader implications for language preservation, cultural expression, and Indigenous identity.
