Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᔷ has the Unicode code point U+1537. 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+1537 to binary:
00010101 00110111. 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 10110111

Description
U+1537 (CANADIAN SYLLABICS YWOO) is a character from the Unicode standard used in digital text. This specific character represents the phonetic element "YWOO" in the Canadian Syllabics script, which is primarily used by Indigenous peoples of Canada for communication and cultural expression. The Canadian Syllabics script was developed in the 19th century by missionaries like James Evans, making it one of the oldest writing systems in North America. In digital text, U+1537 contributes to the representation of words and phrases in the Cree language and other Algonquian languages, allowing for accurate expression and preservation of cultural heritage. Due to its significance in Indigenous languages and history, U+1537 plays a vital role in promoting linguistic diversity and fostering a sense of identity among First Nations, Inuit, and Métis communities across Canada.
