Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔤ has the Unicode code point U+1524. 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+1524 to binary:
00010101 00100100. 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 10010100 10100100

Description
The Unicode character U+1524, known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE SHWAA, plays a significant role in digital text by representing a specific phoneme in the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics writing system. This system is predominantly used among First Nations communities in Canada for written communication and education. The character's primary function is to provide an accurate representation of the SHWAA sound, enabling readers who are familiar with the Canadian Syllabics script to accurately decipher and understand text in West Cree. As a result, U+1524 contributes to preserving and promoting Indigenous languages and cultures within digital spaces while facilitating communication among speakers of these languages.
