Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕱ has the Unicode code point U+1571. 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+1571 to binary:
00010101 01110001. 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 10110001

Description
The Unicode character U+1571 represents the "Canadian Syllabics Tyi" (TYI). This character is an essential element in the Cree syllabics script, which is used primarily for written communication within Canadian Indigenous communities, particularly among speakers of the Cree language. As part of a phonetic writing system, each character in the Cree syllabics represents a distinct sound or syllable. U+1571's primary role in digital text is to accurately represent the unique sound "Ty" in the Cree language, enabling clear communication and preservation of Indigenous languages and cultural heritage. The Canadian Syllabics script has played a crucial role in literacy and education efforts within these communities, and characters like U+1571 contribute significantly to this vital work.
