Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔘ has the Unicode code point U+1518. 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+1518 to binary:
00010101 00011000. 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 10011000

Description
U+1518 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE SHWE) is a character from the Unicode standard, specifically designed for digital text representation of the West-Cree language spoken in Canada. This character plays a crucial role in preserving and promoting Indigenous languages by allowing accurate digital reproduction of the unique phonetic and syntactic properties of the Cree dialect. The use of U+1518 in digital texts is predominantly found within linguistic research, educational materials, and cultural documentation for the West-Cree community. Its presence in these contexts helps maintain the integrity of West-Cree as a living language and fosters a greater understanding of Indigenous Canadian cultures.
