Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᕏ has the Unicode code point U+154F. 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+154F to binary:
00010101 01001111. 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 10001111

Description
The Unicode character U+154F (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE RWAA) plays a crucial role in digital text representation for the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics script. This character is part of the "Canadian Aboriginal Languages" block, which encompasses the characters used in various Indigenous languages across Canada. In digital communication and documentation, U+154F enables accurate transcription and preservation of West Cree language by enabling users to input and display text using the specific phonetic symbols of this dialect. U+154F, along with other Canadian Aboriginal syllabic characters, is used in linguistic research, education, and cultural revitalization efforts within Indigenous communities. These characters are essential for maintaining and promoting the rich linguistic heritage and diversity of Canada's First Nations, Inuit, and Métis peoples. By accurately representing West Cree RWAA sounds in digital text, U+154F contributes to the preservation of oral traditions, storytelling, and cultural expression within this dialect.
