Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖊ has the Unicode code point U+158A. 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+158A to binary:
00010101 10001010. 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 10001010

Description
U+158A is a character in the Unicode standard that represents "CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE RE." In digital text, this character serves as a crucial element for representing the phonetic structure of the West-Cree dialect in Canadian Aboriginal syllabics. The West-Cree dialect is part of the larger family of Algonquian languages spoken primarily by the Cree people living in Canada. Unicode's support for these characters allows for accurate representation and encoding of text in various Indigenous languages, promoting cultural preservation and accessibility to these linguistic resources. This character plays a vital role in digital communication, education, and documentation within Cree-speaking communities, as well as in linguistic and anthropological research efforts.
