Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕲ has the Unicode code point U+1572. 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+1572 to binary:
00010101 01110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+1572 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS TYO) is a character in the Unicode standard, specifically designed for representing phonetic elements in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics script. In digital text, this character plays a crucial role in accurately conveying and transcribing indigenous languages of Canada, such as Cree, Ojibwe, Inuktitut, and others. The use of U+1572 reflects an important effort to preserve and promote the cultural heritage, linguistic diversity, and historical significance of these Aboriginal communities in Canada and beyond. This character serves as a building block within the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics encoding system, enabling the representation of syllables through a combination of diacritical marks and base characters. The adoption of U+1572 and other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters in digital text contributes to fostering better communication, understanding, and respect for indigenous languages and cultures, thereby supporting their revitalization and preservation.
