Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕨ has the Unicode code point U+1568. 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+1568 to binary:
00010101 01101000. 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 10101000

Description
The Unicode character U+1568 represents the Canadian Syllabics THWAA, which is part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics set. In digital text, this character serves as a phonetic symbol in written Cree language, an Indigenous language spoken by various First Nations communities in Canada. Its role is significant for preserving and promoting linguistic diversity and cultural heritage. This character represents a specific sound or syllable in the Cree language, contributing to the rich oral tradition of these communities. The Canadian Syllabics set was designed in the 1940s by missionary and linguist Rev. Dr. Knud Aagaard Pedersen for use in religious texts, and has since evolved into a widely-used system for Indigenous education and literacy programs across Canada. By utilizing U+1568 in digital text, writers can accurately represent the Cree language, supporting cultural preservation and promoting a deeper understanding of Indigenous communities and their histories.
