Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖮ has the Unicode code point U+15AE. 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+15AE to binary:
00010101 10101110. 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 10010110 10101110

Description
U+15AE, or CANADIAN SYLLABICS TH-CREE TH, is a unique Unicode character that holds significant value in digital text, particularly within the realm of Canadian Indigenous languages. As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, this specific character represents a sound in the Cree language - specifically, the combination of "th." The Cree language, like other Canadian Indigenous languages, utilizes syllabic writing systems which are distinct from the Latin-based alphabet used in English. This character contributes to preserving and promoting the linguistic diversity of Canada's First Nations and Inuit populations. It is essential for digital text representation to accurately convey the intended meaning in these languages, thereby aiding in cultural preservation and revitalization efforts.
