Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᖼ has the Unicode code point U+15BC. 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+15BC to binary:
00010101 10111100. 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 10111100

Description
U+15BC, the CANADIAN SYLLABICS BLACKFOOT KE character, plays a significant role within the realm of digital text as it is a key component in the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics block of Unicode characters. This specific code point represents the Blackfoot syllable "ke," which is one of the 21 consonants in the language. The Blackfoot language, belonging to the Algonquian family, is spoken by the Blackfoot people who inhabit portions of the United States and Canada. Its syllabic script was developed by missionaries in the 1870s, with the goal of creating a written form that would be more easily understood and utilized by these indigenous populations. Today, this character serves an essential function in digital communication systems where the Blackfoot language is used, promoting the preservation and perpetuation of the rich linguistic and cultural heritage of the Blackfoot people.
