Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔞ has the Unicode code point U+151E. 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+151E to binary:
00010101 00011110. 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 10011110

Description
The Unicode character U+151E, known as the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE SHWO," holds significant importance within the realm of digital text. This specific character is part of the Canadian Syllabics block and represents a unique symbol in the West-Cree dialect of the Cree language, which is an Algonquian language spoken primarily in Canada. The Cree syllabics were created by missionaries in the 19th century to facilitate the translation of religious texts into Indigenous languages, allowing for better communication and comprehension among the communities. Today, U+151E continues to serve as an essential component in digital text, particularly in applications related to linguistic research, language preservation, and cultural representation. By incorporating this character, digital platforms can honor and promote the rich heritage of Indigenous languages and their unique script systems, fostering inclusivity and diversity in global communication.
