Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᗆ has the Unicode code point U+15C6. 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+15C6 to binary:
00010101 11000110. 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 10000110

Description
U+15C6, also known as CANADIAN SYLLABICS CARRIER GHE, is a Unicode character primarily used in digital text for representing the carrier wave of the Canadian Syllabics script. It serves as a placeholder or container for syllabic characters in the Inuktitut and other Canadian Aboriginal languages, allowing them to be displayed and organized effectively on digital platforms. The character GHE is a specific variant of this carrier wave and is used to denote the guttural consonant sound /x/ in these languages. U+15C6 plays a significant role in preserving and promoting the cultural and linguistic heritage of Indigenous communities in Canada by facilitating accurate representation and transmission of their unique writing system in digital spaces.
