Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕤ has the Unicode code point U+1564. 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+1564 to binary:
00010101 01100100. 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 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+1564, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS THO, is a vital element within the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This unique character serves an essential function in digital text by enabling the accurate representation of Indigenous languages in Canada, such as Cree, Inuit, and Ojibwe. The Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script represents a significant linguistic context as it was developed by missionaries and educators in the early 20th century to facilitate the teaching and communication of Indigenous languages. U+1564, along with other Canadian Aboriginal syllabics characters, ensures that these distinct languages can be digitally preserved and shared, thereby fostering a deeper understanding of Canada's diverse cultural heritage. By utilizing this Unicode character, technology can play a crucial role in the ongoing preservation and revitalization of Indigenous languages and cultures in the digital age.
