Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗱ has the Unicode code point U+15F1. 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+15F1 to binary:
00010101 11110001. 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 10010111 10110001

Description
U+15F1, known as the Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ge, is a unique character in the Unicode standard that plays a significant role in digital text representation, particularly within the realm of Indigenous languages. In the context of linguistics, it serves as a carrier for a group of Canadian Aboriginal syllabic characters, allowing for the correct display and encoding of these phonetic symbols. This character is integral to the Canadian Aboriginal Syllabics set, which is used to write multiple dialects of the Cree language, along with other Indigenous languages in Canada. The use of U+15F1 ensures that the syllables are properly represented and interpreted within digital texts, thus preserving linguistic heritage and promoting cultural understanding. In terms of technical context, the Canadian Syllabics Carrier Ge (U+15F1) works in conjunction with other characters in the syllabic set to construct meaningful words and phrases. By using this character as a carrier, the encoding system can efficiently represent complex linguistic structures while maintaining accuracy and clarity. Overall, U+15F1 is an essential component of digital text representation for Indigenous languages in Canada, facilitating communication and preservation of cultural heritage through accurate encoding and display of syllabic characters.
