Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕊ has the Unicode code point U+154A. 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+154A to binary:
00010101 01001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+154A, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE LO, is a character from the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation for the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. This writing system, primarily used by Indigenous peoples in Canada, consists of 218 individual characters, which are designed to represent each syllable within words. U+154A specifically represents a specific phonetic sound or syllable in the West Cree dialect. In digital text, it serves as an essential component for accurately translating and transcribing the West Cree language in various software applications, websites, and documents. As with other characters in the Canadian Syllabics set, U+154A is crucial for preserving linguistic heritage, promoting cultural understanding, and supporting effective communication within Indigenous communities in Canada.
