Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔲ has the Unicode code point U+1532. 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+1532 to binary:
00010101 00110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+1532 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE YWI) is a character in the Unicode Standard that represents the West-Cree syllabic writing system, specifically the phoneme 'ywi'. This unique script was developed in the early 19th century by missionaries and has since become an integral part of the Cree language, which is spoken by various Indigenous communities in Canada. The Unicode character U+1532 facilitates digital text representation for West-Cree speakers, enabling them to use their native language online and in applications that support Unicode characters. As a result, it plays an essential role in preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of Cree-speaking communities by allowing for accurate documentation, communication, and education through digital platforms.
