Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔫ has the Unicode code point U+152B. 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+152B to binary:
00010101 00101011. 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 10101011

Description
The character U+152B, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS YOO, is a crucial component of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system. It plays a vital role in digital text by representing a distinct sound or phoneme in the Inuit and Cree languages, facilitating accurate communication and preserving linguistic identity for Indigenous communities in Canada. This character is part of the Unicode standard, which ensures consistent encoding across different platforms, devices, and applications, thereby promoting the widespread use and recognition of this essential typographic element within the digital realm. By understanding and incorporating U+152B in various technological contexts, we contribute to the preservation of cultural heritage and promote inclusivity for Indigenous communities in Canada and beyond.
