Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᑟ has the Unicode code point U+145F. 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+145F to binary:
00010100 01011111. 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 10010001 10011111

Description
The Unicode character U+145F, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS TWOO, is an essential element within the digital text system. Its primary function lies in representing the second syllable of Cree syllabics - a writing system used by Indigenous peoples in Canada. This script, developed by missionaries and linguists in the early 20th century, aims to facilitate literacy among speakers of Cree and other similar Algonquian languages. By incorporating U+145F in digital texts, one ensures the accurate representation and continuation of Indigenous cultural heritage and linguistic diversity. The character's significant role highlights the importance of inclusivity in digital communication and the preservation of linguistic history.
