Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔶ has the Unicode code point U+1536. 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+1536 to binary:
00010101 00110110. 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 10110110

Description
U+1536 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE YWO) is a character in the Unicode standard that represents an individual syllable within the West Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics script. This character plays a vital role in digital text by enabling accurate representation and communication of the West Cree language, which is an Indigenous language spoken primarily in Canada. The Canadian Syllabics script was developed by missionaries in the mid-19th century to facilitate literacy and religious education among Indigenous peoples, particularly those speaking the various dialects of the Cree language. U+1536 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE YWO) is one of 24 characters that represent distinct syllables within this script, allowing for the precise rendering and understanding of West Cree text in digital environments such as websites, documents, and software applications. The use of this character helps preserve and promote the cultural heritage and linguistic diversity of the Indigenous communities in Canada who speak West Cree or related dialects.
