Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖉ has the Unicode code point U+1589. 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+1589 to binary:
00010101 10001001. 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 10001001

Description
U+1589, also known as Canadian Syllabics TLHA (Tli Ha), is a character used primarily in the representation of the Cree language within digital text. As part of the Unicode Standard, it serves to provide accurate typographic support for Indigenous languages, fostering literacy and cultural preservation. The character's use is significant as it represents a unique phonetic element in the Cree language, which has its own distinct script system based on syllabics. U+1589 is an essential component of this script, contributing to its cohesion and comprehensibility. In digital text, U+1589 facilitates clear communication and the exchange of ideas within the Cree-speaking community while also promoting cultural awareness and respect for linguistic diversity globally.
