Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔚ has the Unicode code point U+151A. 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+151A to binary:
00010101 00011010. 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 10011010

Description
U+151A is a character in the Unicode standard representing the Canadian Syllabics West-Cree "Shwi" (شوي). This character is predominantly used in digital text for written communication within the Indigenous languages of Canada, specifically within the Cree language family. The Canadian Syllabics script was developed by missionaries in the 19th century to transcribe the various Indigenous languages in Canada. It consists of 64 characters, including letters, digraphs, and diacritics, which are used to represent syllables in a phonetic manner. The West-Cree Shwi (شوي) holds significant cultural, linguistic, and technical importance as it contributes to the preservation and revitalization of the Cree language and Indigenous heritage in Canada. As part of the Unicode standard, U+151A ensures accurate representation and compatibility across digital platforms and applications, facilitating communication and understanding among speakers of the West-Cree dialect and promoting linguistic diversity.
