Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character แ has the Unicode code point U+159F. 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+159F to binary:
00010101 10011111. 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 10010110 10011111

Description
U+159F is a character from the Unicode Standard, specifically representing the "CANADIAN SYLLABICS WOODS-CREE TH" (๐ธ). This character plays a crucial role in digital text as it belongs to the Canadian Syllabics block, which encompasses characters used for writing Cree and other indigenous languages of Canada. The Woods Cree script is one of the three dialects of the Cree language and the only dialect that uses the Canadian syllabic script extensively. In a linguistic context, U+159F is part of a system of 21 distinct symbols used in written Woods Cree, enabling speakers of this language to represent their unique phonological characteristics. These characters are based on a syllabary consisting of 24 letters representing consonants and 23 distinct syllabic forms. U+159F specifically represents the /t/ sound followed by the base syllable /i/. In terms of technical context, U+159F is encoded in the Unicode Standard, ensuring compatibility with modern digital platforms and facilitating the accurate representation of Indigenous languages. This is crucial for preserving cultural heritage and fostering communication among native speakers or learners of Woods Cree.
