Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖭ has the Unicode code point U+15AD. 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+15AD to binary:
00010101 10101101. 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 10101101

Description
U+15AD is the Unicode code point for "CANADIAN SYLLABICS TH-CREE THAA." This character serves as a fundamental building block in digital text representations of the Cree language, which is spoken by various First Nations communities in Canada. The Canadian Syllabics Th-Cree Thaa is one of the 39 sets of Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics used to represent phonemes and syllables in Indigenous languages. In the context of digital typography, U+15AD contributes to the accurate and culturally sensitive rendering of Cree and other Indigenous texts on modern devices and platforms. As part of the Unicode Standard, this character helps preserve linguistic heritage and supports communication in diverse language communities.
