Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖜ has the Unicode code point U+159C. 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+159C to binary:
00010101 10011100. 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 10011100

Description
The character U+159C (CANADIAN SYLLABICS WOODS-CREE THI) is a key element in the digital representation of Woods Cree, an Indigenous language primarily spoken by the Woods Cree people in Canada. In its typical usage within digital text, this character serves as one component of a larger system of Unicode characters designed to accurately represent the intricate phonetic and syllabic structure of the Woods Cree language. This crucial role underscores the significance of U+159C in facilitating effective communication and preservation of cultural heritage within Woods Cree communities. As part of the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block, U+159C is one of over 400 characters that form a unique writing system derived from the Roman alphabet. Adopted by various Indigenous groups across Canada in the early 20th century, this syllabic script was designed to be easily learned and used by speakers with little or no literacy in European languages, while also enabling greater standardization of spelling and orthography within and between communities. The inclusion of U+159C and other Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics characters in the Unicode Standard not only acknowledges their vital role in Indigenous language preservation but also promotes global accessibility and interoperability for digital content in these languages.
