Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕦ has the Unicode code point U+1566. 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+1566 to binary:
00010101 01100110. 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 10010101 10100110

Description
U+1566, or "CANADIAN SYLLABICS THA," is a character within the Unicode Standard, which plays a crucial role in digital text encoding and display of written languages across the world. This specific code point is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, a set of characters designed to represent the phonetic structure of various Indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. CANADIAN SYLLABICS THA is used in combination with other syllabic characters to form words and phrases within these linguistic systems. Its presence in digital text facilitates communication, education, and cultural preservation among Indigenous communities in Canada. By accurately representing the unique sounds of these languages, U+1566 contributes to the broader goal of promoting and protecting the rich cultural heritage embedded in their oral traditions.
