Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖍ has the Unicode code point U+158D. 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+158D to binary:
00010101 10001101. 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 10001101

Description
The character U+158D (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE RA) is a glyph from the Unicode standard, specifically used in digital text to represent a phonetic element within the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. As part of the 64th group of West Cree syllabic characters, it plays an essential role in representing the distinct sounds and phonemes that form words and sentences in the Cree language. This character is primarily used for transcription and translation purposes, facilitating communication among the Cree-speaking communities across Canada, particularly in the provinces of Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Alberta, and the Northwest Territories. In terms of linguistic context, the Canadian Syllabics writing system was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to transcribe the Cree language, which is an Algonquian language spoken by thousands of people in Canada. The West Cree dialect is just one of several dialects, and U+158D (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE RA) serves as a crucial component for accurate representation of the language's phonological structure. Technically, U+158D is encoded in the Unicode standard, allowing for its consistent representation and usage across various platforms, software, and devices that support Unicode encoding. This ensures that digital text containing this character remains readable and accessible to users of different systems, fostering cross-platform communication and preservation of linguistic diversity.
