Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔸ has the Unicode code point U+1538. 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+1538 to binary:
00010101 00111000. 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 10111000

Description
The Unicode character U+1538, known as "CANADIAN SYLLABICS WEST-CREE YWOO," is an essential glyph in digital text for the West-Cree dialect of the Canadian Syllabics script. This character set, consisting of 67 characters, was developed by missionaries and educators to transcribe the Cree language and other Algonquian languages spoken in Canada. U+1538 specifically represents the West-Cree syllable "ywoo," which consists of a "y" consonant followed by the "woo" vowel group. The Canadian Syllabics script is widely used for educational, linguistic, and cultural purposes, and its characters, including U+1538, are crucial for preserving and promoting the rich linguistic heritage of Indigenous communities across Canada.
