Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗲ has the Unicode code point U+15F2. 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+15F2 to binary:
00010101 11110010. 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 10110010

Description
U+15F2, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GEE, is a character from the Unicode standard that holds significant importance in digital text. Primarily used within the context of the Canadian Aboriginal syllabics writing system, this character functions as a carrier for the encoding of individual graphemes in the syllabic script. The syllabics system has been pivotal to the preservation and promotion of Indigenous languages in Canada. CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GEE is not used independently but serves as a crucial component in the representation of various sounds within these languages. The character ensures accurate encoding and display of syllabics, thereby playing an essential role in maintaining cultural heritage and linguistic diversity within Indigenous communities across Canada.
