Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖳ has the Unicode code point U+15B3. 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+15B3 to binary:
00010101 10110011. 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 10110011

Description
U+15B3 is a character within the Unicode standard that represents 'CANADIAN SYLLABICS BLACKFOOT A'. This specific Unicode character has a crucial role in digital text, particularly for languages with unique scripts, such as the Blackfoot language. The Blackfoot people are an indigenous group native to North America, primarily residing in Canada and the United States, and their language is part of the Algonquian linguistic family. In the context of the Canadian Syllabics script, which was developed by missionaries to transliterate Cree language texts into a writing system that could be more easily learned by indigenous peoples, U+15B3 represents an essential phonetic element. It is crucial for accurately representing and transcribing the sounds of the Blackfoot language in digital formats. By ensuring the accuracy and accessibility of such characters, Unicode facilitates the preservation and promotion of linguistic diversity and cultural heritage.
